Blip, a global technology company focused on Conversational AI, has just announced that Daniel Costa, co-founder and chairman of the company, will now have an even more strategic role: driving the brand's major business and international expansion by passing on the leadership baton for the People area. The executive will work on the front line of connecting with the ecosystem, investors, partners, and clients; without neglecting to support and be one of the ambassadors of the company's culture. Daniel remains the chairman of the Board of Directors. Daniel has been in a C-Level position in People Operations over the past 4 years, structuring the company from 150 to over 1,500 employees with 4 offices in 3 different countries.
With that, another announced novelty is that Luciana Carvalho, former Ambev, Movile, Sinch, and co-founder of Chiefs.Group, will take the position of CHRO at Blip.The executive arrives to further strengthen the leadership of people. The company's expectation is to double its overseas revenue this year, while its revenue in Brazil is expected to increase by 40%.
Luciana has over 15 years of experience in human resources, with a role in building high-performance cultures and companies experiencing rapid growth. Beyond HR, the executive has served on the Boards of Directors of national and multinational publicly traded companies and has led areas such as External Communication and Performance. She is also an angel investor in startups. Before founding Chiefs.Group, he worked at Ambev, Sinch, and Movile.
At Blip, Luciana will lead a team of over 70 people, managing initiatives aimed at the more than 1,500 Blippers – as the company's employees are called."I'm very excited to be part of a company that is constantly growing and transforming the global technology market with its Conversational Artificial Intelligence solution. My arrival aims to evolve the People department so that we become an enabler of Blip's growth, through a high-performance culture," says Luciana.
Strategy towards expansion and IPO
These two movements announced by Blip are directly related to the company's new business strategy and expansion, including the goal of conducting an IPO. In his new position, Daniel will be responsible for being a catalyst for the sales and partnerships areas, working in a connected and cross-functional manner with executives Juliano Braz, VP of Sales, Philemon Mattos, Director of the Partner Ecosystem at Blip, and Francine Rosset, the company's Marketing Director.
“This decision is crucial for the current situation at Blip, with offices in Brazil, Mexico and Spain, as well as clients in over 33 countries. I will focus on what an entrepreneur does best: interacting with stakeholders and decision-makers on major opportunities at Blip. I will also help develop and further strengthen the community of allies and partners for our business. I have always been involved in strategic decisions at Blip, but now I am taking on this responsibility more explicitly and on a daily basis alongside other C-levels,” explains Daniel.
One of Daniel's main roles will be to make Blip an even more attractive company for investors."We have in our business pipeline the desire to do an IPO in the coming years, and with this new position, I will be dedicated and fully committed to executing the strategy alongside the global operation and new opportunities. Knowing the company from Day One and the weight of being a Co-Founder always drives results with all stakeholders," he states.
