SKILLS
ABOUT DIOGO CATÃO
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve focused on building and scaling ventures in environments where structure, clarity, and certainty are still forming. My experience spans startups, venture building, and corporate innovation, always close to decision-making under real constraints and accountability.I work at the intersection of innovation, capital, and governance, helping founders, investors, and institutions turn early-stage ideas and complex challenges into scalable, well-governed businesses. The focus is not experimentation for its own sake, but durable value creation from zero to scale.I currently serve as CEO of Brazil’s first GovTech Venture Builder, where I oversee portfolio growth, investor relations, and strategic partnerships. The work involves applying venture capital discipline, governance frameworks, and execution rigor to public-sector challenges that require long-term thinking and institutional alignment.I’m often brought into situations that require judgment more than speed. Aligning boards and shareholders, navigating strategic inflection points, and supporting executive teams in complex, high-pressure environments are core parts of my role. I value data-driven decision-making, but equally the experience to act when information is incomplete.I also advise founders, executives, and investors on growth, fundraising, governance, and strategic transitions.I’m open to conversations with leaders and boards who are building, scaling, or governing ventures at the intersection of innovation and institutional complexity.Areas of FocusStrategy and Venture BuildingBoard Leadership and GovernanceFundraising and Investor RelationsInnovation and Digital TransformationNew Ventures and Strategic PartnershipsExecutive Decision-Making Under Pressure
