Revolut
[edit]In 2019, Revolut started a search for strong members with deep financial knowledge and experience in the banking industry to spearhead their US expansion. The market and the demands-supply ratio are different in the U.S. than Europe and to grab the market with tough existing competitors, the bank decided to hire someone with experience in the banking sector including regional areas and overseas.[10][11] In November 2019, Oliveira was appointed the new CEO of Revolut USA.[12] With his decades of bank experience, Oliveira's role was to bridge the gap between Revolut’s technology and the work it has to do to become a trusted bank.[13] In February 2020, Oliveira participated in a funding round raising $500MM of private capital from several prominent FinTech equity funds.[14]
