Well, well ...
'He sounds like some painter from hundreds of years ago, boss.' Ha, ha, ha! Why would I be writing about a painter from hundreds of years ago? No, Voice. Unfortunately, Leonardo Brummas Carvalho is a finance guy. 'Oh. Never mind.' Ha! This is a finance blog, son. It's nothing to be sad about.
LONDON, Wednesday 22nd April 2020 - ITI Capital, the global financial services provider for institutional investors and private clients, today announces the appointment of Leonardo Brummas Carvalho as Group Co-CEO and CEO of Wealth Management, having been hand-selected for the position by its Chairman, Oleg Jelezko.
You see? PR email. 'Yes. And he was hand-selected by the great Oleg himself.' I know, I know. Exciting, isn't it?
Leonardo brings over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry to his new position as CEO, having previously acted as CEO and Country Manager for Credit Suisse Panama, and most recently as Head of the Emerging Europe team for Credit Suisse in London.
I wonder if I've written about him before ... 'You've written about everyone before, boss.' Ha! Not everyone. It bloody well feels like it sometimes though.
ITI Capital, which is owned by Da Vinci Capital, a global private equity fund, has hired Carvalho to use his experience in management and financial Services to take the company on its next phase of digital transformation and accelerate its growth.
Da Vinci Capital?! Whatever!
Moving forward, and with the help of its new CEO of Wealth Management, ITI Capital aim to become a global digital financial services provider, further disrupting the financial services industry by offering top-tier trading execution for private clients, transparent advisory and discretionary services aided by cutting edge fintech and artificial intelligence solutions.
Fair enough. But is our Oleg excited? That's the big question of the day.
Oleg Jelezko, Chairman, ITI Capital comments:
"We are excited to welcome Leonardo to the team at ITI Capital, and eager to apply his passion for technology, management and financial experience, to the next era of ITI Capital's success.
"Leonardo will be building a fully integrated digital financial platform to service a range of private clients, and running his team at maximum efficiency, ensuring ITI Capital maintains its reputation for innovation, technology and best in class services.
"Over his 20 years of experience in finance, Leonardo has become a top talent in reshaping and leading teams and growing businesses exponentially."
Fair enough. Speaking for the whole company, like. But wouldn't it be great if our Leonardo was excited too? 'He's probably thrilled, boss, knowing him.' Ha, ha, ha! Thrilled? That would be asking for too much, my little invisible friend. No, I'll be content with "excited".
Come on, Leonardo!
Leonardo Brummas Carvalho, CEO of Wealth Management, ITI Capital comments:
"I am thrilled to head up the wealth management department of ITI Capital, which is showing market resilience despite the widespread disruption caused by The Thing. I will be joining a talented team, and look forward to taking our business to the next level, with ambitious plans to increase our offering, capabilities and market share in the coming months."
Thrilled! Jesus! 'I told you.'
"Given the current climate, we are striving to further disrupt the financial services sector by making significant investments in cutting-edge financial technology. With many businesses and entrepreneurs forced to work remotely, getting access to the latest digital wealth management consultancy and insights online is now a top priority. Therefore, we also have big plans in store to democratize the market, and ensure the general public are offered the same, high-quality financial advisory services as has typically only been offered to high-net worth individuals before now."
Nice one! Oh -
"We are also very much focused on our social duties to help vulnerable citizens to get access to financial services remotely."
Fair enough.

Anything else? My music? And Rain Came Down ... ? I've been thinking, man. It's slightly less commercial than I thought. Because the lyric is a little weird, the song has more in common with Losing My Religion than those other songs I mentioned. I mean, a song like Baby Jane is super-commercial because of the music and the words. I'm still happy though.
Goals, goals ... new goals! To do the demo, sure. BUT(!) ... eight more songs as good as my twelve, to give me ... uh ... twenty! Yes. Then I can scrap the three from the 2016 demo. And to improve my guitar playing, of course. Never-ending, that is.
Listen! I might have to go back to the Vance/Musk audiobook. Desperate times and all that, you dig? Jordan owes $100 million or something. Grant is losing everything. David doesn't have a pot to piss in. But our Elon is worth $38 billion. Do you know what I mean?
I could be worth $38 billion today ... if I wasn't such a lovely, soft-hearted guy. 'Ha! Lazy guy, you mean.' Shut up, Voice! I got poetry in my soul.
Oh, oh ... ! The Sweeney ... ? Man, I love seeing the locations they filmed in, all local to me. The other day - in an ancient episode, obviously - Regan and Carter were having a punch-up with some villains/slags on Chiswick Green. Ha!
Laters.
