In this unprecedented study, GarciAIgnacio Network Thinking, in partnership with Rede Líderes Digitais, mapped the flows of leaders who worked in more than 300 digital companies in Brazil over the last 10 years.
The network below illustrates the exchange of executives between digital companies
in Brazil during the last decade.

The flow of leaders (CTOs and CEOs) of digital companies is dominated by a closed circuit of companies such as: Rappi, Mercado Livre, iFood, Loft, 99 and Loggi.
These companies occupy key positions in attracting executives who bring knowledge, good practices and management models specific to digital companies, attracting greater investment.
There are several groups of digital companies disconnected from the main circuit, revealing a loose and dense network, which indicates a clear challenge for the development of the Brazilian innovation ecosystem.
The results of this mapping indicate the need to encourage connections between companies and executives, "breaking the bubble" of the closed circuit of digital natives through which the main leaders circulate and creating strategic bridges with digital companies and those in the process of digitalization to expand the business ecosystem.
