Leandro is a seasoned AI, data, and analytics leader and brings with him more than 30 years of experience helping organizations drive business outcomes through data, analytics, and AI. Before joining Fractal, he was a Managing Director in Deloitte's FSI AI & Data practice. Prior to his tenure at Deloitte, he spent more than 20 years in senior executive roles at AIG, Citibank, BlackRock, and Planck, where he built and led a leading AI platform for insurance through its acquisition by Applied Systems in 2024.

"We are delighted to welcome Leandro. His exceptional track record of building and scaling data and AI capabilities across global institutions, combined with his deep domain expertise, will be instrumental as we continue to grow our FSI practice.

I believe it has a real differentiator: being truly AI native, with deep technical expertise built around AI from the start. And as adoption accelerates, our focus must stay on delivering measurable, trusted business value. My priority is to deepen client partnerships, drive growth across key accounts, and build an operating model that delivers clear, outcome-driven impact."

Leandro is an MBA graduate from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He also holds a professional certificate in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University, and a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
