CEO & Founder

Before founding Kredo, Lucas supported dozens of entrepreneurs through every crucial stage—periods of growth, acquisitions, and the more challenging moments in a company’s journey. He saw how finance can be a powerful enabler, but also witnessed its limitations: slowness, a lack of genuine listening, and administrative burdens. Kredo is the result of those years spent in the field—an alternative designed to go straight to the point: understanding quickly, responding accurately, and remaining human. What he offers today is exactly what he had long been searching for.
