Pismo Announces Leadership Changes with New CEO Appointment
Pismo has made significant leadership changes to enhance its commitment to customer-oriented growth and to strengthen its global presence. The company proudly announces Vishal Dalal as its new global Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Vishal Dalal's New Role
Vishal Dalal, who previously served as the CEO for Pismo in regions including North America, Europe, and Asia, now takes on the global CEO role. With over 25 years of rich expertise in core banking and card systems, Dalal is well-equipped to steer Pismo’s strategic direction. His experience with industry leaders such as McKinsey, Citibank, and Barclays has given him a unique perspective that he will now apply to global operations at Pismo.
Continuing Legacy
Dalal will operate out of London, bringing his extensive international experience to Pismo. He takes over from Ricardo Josua, co-founder and previous CEO, who will transition to an advisory position after successfully leading Pismo through significant growth and its recent acquisition by Visa.
"We are grateful to Ricardo for his leadership and contributions to the team. Pismo’s success and overall standing in the industry owes much to his hard work. He has built a robust foundation for us to expand upon," said Vishal Dalal, reflecting on the transition.
Ricardo Josua Reflects on Pismo’s Growth
Looking back, Ricardo Josua highlighted the progress Pismo made over the last year under Visa’s ownership. "We have flourished, breaking into new markets and building a pipeline of prospective clients while enhancing platform performance. This impressive progress lays the groundwork for our future endeavors. I trust Pismo in Vishal's capable hands and will remain supportive in my advisory role," remarked Josua.
New Leadership Roles within Pismo
Alongside Dalal's appointment, Pismo has promoted Rodrigo Melato to Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Melato has been with Pismo since June 2022 and previously held the position of VP of Sales. In this expanded global role, he will spearhead Pismo's go-to-market strategies and enhance the customer-focused approach. With two decades of industry experience, Melato previously directed the Financial Services division at Salesforce.
Pismo's other co-founders—including Daniela Binatti (CTO), Juliana Binatti Motta (CPO), and Marcelo Parise (VP of Engineering)—will continue to drive innovation within their respective departments, ensuring cohesive momentum as the company navigates this new chapter.
Positioning Pismo for the Future
The leadership transitions at Pismo not only signify a new era but also reinforce the company's commitment to remaining a frontrunner in next-generation banking and payments technology. Pismo is poised to leverage new strategies and market opportunities while maintaining the high standards and innovative spirit that have defined its reputation.
