Fireside Chat with David Velez: Nubank’s Decade of Innovation and Impact

David Vélez, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Nubank has reimagined banking in Latin America and was honored at Endeavor’s 2023 Gala as Business Leader of the Year.

In 2013, the Colombian entrepreneur founded Nubank, offering all-digital banking services that were fee-free and customer-centric—starting with credit cards. The response was huge, and in the decade since, Nubank has grown into a $25 billion company serving 35 million people.

At Endeavor’s Gala, Martin Escobari, one of Endeavor’s Global Board of Directors and co-founder of Submarino.com, engages in a dynamic conversation with David, exploring the entrepreneur's remarkable journey, the pivotal mentors who shaped his trajectory, the art of scaling a culture, and his vision for the future.
