MIAMI, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aleph Group, Inc
("Aleph" or "the Company"), a global partner to the world's biggest
digital media players, today announced that Pedro Arnt, Chief Financial Officer of
MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI), the largest Latin American e-commerce
and fintech player, is joining Aleph's Board of Directors. Arnt
will also serve as Chair of the Audit Committee.
Arnt is widely recognized for his C-Level experience at
MercadoLibre, one of the most successful global marketplaces and
fintech companies. He joined MercadoLibre in 1999 and has served as
CFO since 2011. He initially led MercadoLibre's business
development and marketing teams, and later managed the
Company's customer experience operations. Arnt was instrumental in
MercadoLibre's journey to become a public company when he served as
Vice President of Strategic Planning, Treasury & Investor
Relations. Before MercadoLibre, Arnt worked at The Boston
Consulting Group.
MercadoLibre invested in Aleph in 2021, and is
collaborating with Aleph to monetize advertising space on its
digital properties in countries where MercadoLibre does not have
local sales operations. Further, MercadoLibre and Aleph will
partner to explore and collaborate on new business development
opportunities in digital advertising.
"We are thrilled to welcome Pedro, and look forward to
benefiting from his business and financial expertise," states
Gaston Taratuta, Founder and CEO of
Aleph. "Pedro is a tremendous addition to the Board at a critical
time in our corporate history as Aleph begins its next chapter. I'm
extremely proud of what we have achieved over the course of the
past 17 years and energized by what's to come."
"I met Gaston Taratuta nearly 20
years ago and have been inspired his ability to grow Aleph into the
digital world's connector," said Arnt. "I have been consistently
impressed by the evolution of the business and, most importantly,
by the Company's ability to execute and innovate for its partners.
I look forward to working closely with the rest of the Board and
leadership team through Aleph's next phase of growth."
This announcement follows the appointment of Imran Khan as Chairman of Aleph Group in
2021.
