Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and Chief Growth Officer of Nubank, who oversees the operations in the three countries the company operates, will continue to be involved with Nu Colombia local team operations.
"We are incredibly grateful to Catalina for her fundamental role in launching the local operation and positioning Nu at the top of the sector in less than 2 years.

"Joining Nu Colombia when it was just an idea and helping build it to a thriving and influential player is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. After some weeks in transition with the team, I will be taking some time to focus on personal projects. And I will always be cheering Nubank ahead with enormous confidence of the great achievements coming soon in Colombia" says Catalina Breton.
