Nubank Appoints Rob Livingston as Chief Financial Officer

Guilherme Lago will support the leadership transition through August 31 and will continue as a Special Advisor to Nu Holdings’ management team and its Audit and Risk Committee. He will provide guidance on corporate development and other strategic matters.

Rob Livingston will lead Nubank’s global finance team, overseeing capital and liquidity planning, financial reporting, corporate development, tax, and investor relations.

Rob Livingston brings more than 30 years of experience in financial services across North America, Europe, and Asia. He joins Nubank from Visa, where he most recently served as CFO for North America, the company’s largest business. During his 12-year tenure at Visa, he also led Corporate Finance and Investor Relations, served as CFO for Visa Europe, sat on the board of Visa Europe Limited, and held leadership roles in China and Canada.

Before Visa, Livingston spent 18 years at Capital One, where he held senior roles across credit, marketing, and finance. His positions included President of Capital One Canada, Divisional CFO and Senior Credit Officer. He hold's a BA in Economics from Yale University.

During Guilherme Lago’s time as CFO, Nubank grew from a regional fintech into one of the world’s largest digital banking platforms. The company also expanded its products in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia and improved its financial strength, profitability, and capital position.

The group will also create a dedicated Chief Financial Officer role for Brazil, completing a global and local finance leadership structure already established in Mexico and Colombia. This approach reflects the scale, and complexity of Nubanks operations, strengthening accountability, and financial leadership in each market while allowing the Global CFO to focus on broader strategic priorities. The appointment for the new role will be announced at a later time.

"Lago has been a true partner and helped lead the finance organization through Nubank's growth into the leading digital bank in Latin America. After careful consideration, he decided this was the right moment to step down, and we shaped this succession together. Rob Livingston is the right person to lead the team through what comes next. Our priorities, growth in our core markets, reshaping Nubank around AI, and disciplined international expansion, are unchanged,” said David Velez, founder and CEO of Nubank.

“I joined Nubank in 2019, when the company had around 20 million customers and operated only in Brazil. Today Nu has 135 million customers across three countries, with a finance organization strong enough to lead through any cycle. That is the work I am most proud of, and this is the right moment to step down. Thank you to David, the Board and every Nubanker for these seven years. I will stay engaged through the transition and remain close to Nu as an advisor," said Guilherme Lago.

"I’m excited to be joining Nubank. What this team has built in only 13 years is truly extraordinary. Still, the opportunity ahead is even brighter, and I'm extremely excited to be part of the next steps of Nu's journey. At Nubank, my focus will continue to be on superb execution of the finance organization, optimizing capital allocation, and supporting Nu's next stage of growth," says Livingston.
