ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading global fintech venture capital firm QED Investors announced today that it has promoted Camila Vieira from principal to partner, head of Brazil.

Camila is part of the early-stage international team with a focus on fintech investments and is one of 19 investment professionals at QED.

"Cami is a tour de force and I couldn't be more excited to recognize her incredible work ethic and sharp intellect," said QED Managing Partner and Co-Founder Nigel Morris. "She has played a pivotal role in building QED's brand presence across LatAm as an investor and a mentor and she has her fingerprints on many areas of our business across multiple geographies, stages and verticals. She is highly respected by founders and entrepreneurs, and she has already left an indelible mark on the QED team with her passion and kindness."

Camila is on the board of portfolio companies Escale, Mottu and Warren and she is a board advisor for Amparo, Loft, Noodle and Solfacil, among others.

"Camila is a true asset to our board," said Escale CEO Ken Diamond. "Her leadership skills, business insights and willingness to dig in have won my admiration. She is founder-friendly, makes connections and offers straight-shooting advice. Her contributions have been invaluable."

Camila joined QED in 2022 as the company's first employee based in São Paulo. She becomes the second principal to earn a promotion to partner, following Laura Bock in 2021.

Prior to joining QED, Camila spent her career in technology and financial services. She started her career at Moody's, a credit rating agency, before joining Goldman Sachs to focus on corporate credit and economic risk.

Later, as part of Goldman's investment banking division, Camila helped fintech, software and e-commerce companies raise capital and cross over from private to public markets. She went on to join the global strategy and corporate development teams at Ceridian, a global software company servicing more than 160 countries. More recently, Camila spent time at Hotmart, a Brazilian tech unicorn whose platform facilitates sales of digital products enabling creators to build, monetize, manage and grow globally. There, she led strategy and operations, ESG and investor relations.

Added Warren CEO Tito Gusmao: "This is Camila - the kind of person who picks up the phone and solves things, commits and fights alongside you, praises when deserved and questions when necessary. She's a rare find."
