Gilion continues to attract top-tier talent in the financial sector, driven by disruptive industry trends. These include the shift from static, outdated data to real-time insights, the transformative power of AI in amplifying human decision-making, and the fundamental changes these advancements bring to the credit decision process for founders and early-stage tech startups.

“We are thrilled to welcome Alexandre to the Gilion team,” says Oscar Werner, CEO at Gilion.
Alexandre's extensive experience in raising capital across different sectors and at larger scales will be a tremendous asset to Gilion. The best way to know if someone can do something tomorrow is if they’ve done it before, and if there’s one thing Alexandre knows how to do, it’s raising capital. This makes it highly likely that, with Alexandre on board, Gilion will secure the necessary funding to achieve our ambitious goals.".
