Latin America is experiencing a fintech revolution, emerging as one of the most dynamic and innovative markets globally. With over 70% of adults actively using fintech services and a market projected to reach $151 billion by 2028, the region is not just growing—it's redefining how financial services scale in mobile-first economies.

However, succeeding in this highly competitive and rapidly evolving landscape requires more than just aggressive expansion. While U.S. and European markets often follow a structured path, Latin American fintechs have developed unique strategies to overcome regulatory complexities, hypergrowth challenges, and a highly mobile-driven user base. This creates an environment where scalability demands constant adaptability, customer-centric innovation, and profitability beyond user acquisition.

In this session, Gabriel Sampaio, Head of Growth at Nomad, a leading Brazilian fintech with over 2.5 million users, will present a compelling case study on scaling fintech in Latin America. Attendees will gain exclusive insights into:

• Navigating hypergrowth in emerging markets – How Nomad balanced rapid expansion with operational efficiency and risk management while addressing the unique needs of Latin American consumers.
• Understanding LatAm vs. U.S. market dynamics – How consumer trust, spending habits, and decision-making shape fintech adoption, highlighting key differences in user acquisition and regulatory challenges in Latin America.
• Shifting beyond acquisition-focused growth – Why fintechs in the region are moving from aggressive expansion to sustainable profitability, lifetime value, and long-term success.

Whether you're an investor, founder, or growth leader, this session will equip you with actionable lessons from Latin America's fintech ecosystem—helping you rethink global scalability and drive impact in your own market.
