Rodrigo Machado Costa

Leader with experience building functions from the ground up and delivering transformational projects in ambiguous environments

I turn data into more profitable, scalable credit decisions.

Business impact

  • Pricing Transformation: led the development of the corporate platform from the ground up, integrating pricing strategy, policies, data, products and channels. Generated over R$ 100 million in incremental margin and enabled more than 100 million monthly pricing decisions.
  • Risk Transformation: led one of the 12 strategic workstreams of Hipe Risk, reviewing policies and the data, model and decision engine architecture. Restructured the policy and model implementation cycle, reducing delivery time from six to two months.
  • Strategy & Operations in Trade Finance & Services: the initiatives I led contributed to 50% portfolio growth, the recovery of approximately BRL 5 million per month in unbilled revenue and a reduction of up to 76% in rework.
