B3 appoints Eduardo Neves as Chief Technology Officer +55-11-3513 6573

According to B3, Mr. Eduardo Neves was appointed as the company’s Chief Thiago Batista, CFA

Technology Officer. Mr. Neves has more than 30 years' experience in technology Analyst

across the financial and telecommunications sectors, including roles at IBM thiago.batista@ubs.com

Consulting. Over the past five years, he led the technological transformation of Itaú +55-11-3513 6518

Chile, with initiatives focused on digitalization, artificial intelligence and Camila Azevedo

operational efficiency. He will assume the role in the coming months, following the Associate Analyst

completion of his transition process at Itaú. Until then, Mr. Jochen Mielke will camila.azevedo@ubs.com

remain B3’s Interim Chief Technology Officer. Our take: We note recent changes in +55-11-2767 6881

B3's management team, including the new CEO in May (here), who joined the Bruno Kenji

company in July. Mr. Neves’ experience in digitalization, artificial intelligence and Associate Analyst

operational efficiency should support the company’s ongoing technology initiatives. bruno.kenji@ubs.com
