She has 18 years of professional experience, 10 of which in-house, in players of various segments of the Financial Market, such as Banking, Investments, Payments and Technology.

Gabriela has experience not only in legal proceedings and administrative procedures, but also in the advisory area, in order to meet the most diverse issues of the day-to-day of the companies. With experience in structuring benefits, compensation, and contracts, she combines her legal and academic knowledge in administration with the search for solutions that can meet the day-to-day needs of companies.
The 3rd promotion is Juliana Calçada, Head of the commercial contracts area at Baptista Luz since July 2020. She started her career in the area of dispute resolution, where she worked for 10 years.

Her professional career has provided Juliana with a holistic view of business relationships. Today, with 18 years of professional practice, Juliana has extensive experience in structuring high value-added commercial contracts and strategic transactions in various market segments, including regulated markets
In less than 3 months of 2022, these promotions, combined with Vanessa’s arrival, are part of a recurrent movement of the bank known for innovating and investing heavily in technical development and career opportunities.
