Yvon Gaillard Email & Phone Number

The son of a Brazilian mother and a Swiss father, I've lived in the world of entrepreneurship since I was a child. My father was passionate about new businesses and innovative ideas. A serial entrepreneur. This influenced me greatly and motivated me to follow the same path.I have a degree in Economics, a postgraduate degree in Business Tax Law and an MBA in Business Management. Married to Renata, father to Isabela, Letícia and Guilherme, I'm also father to Chico and Brownie, my four-legged children. A fanatical Palmeirense and frustrated rocker, I love traveling and being with people who make me laugh.My professional journey began in 2008 at Gol Linhas Aéreas. With rapid growth, in 2010 I was invited to become an Account Executive at Thomson Reuters' largest solutions consultancy.After 2 years working there and dissatisfied with the inefficiency of the company I was working for, I joined my friends Thiago and Luis, who, by those coincidences of life, ended up working in the same segment and with the same solution.On March 8, 2012, we founded Flux-IT, a consultancy specializing in implementing technological solutions for the Brazilian tax area. In the same year, we won the Apple account, which allowed us to spend some time working in Silicon Valley. From there we had the idea of creating a tax automation solution - and that's how Dootax was born!In 2018, we went through a round of investment in Dootax, which brought a few million to the operation and allowed us to invest in areas such as marketing and sales, where we had little strength until then. With this investment, in just 3 years, we increased Dootax's turnover by 9x.But anyone who thinks we would stop is mistaken. After all, we are driven by the passion to do something new.In 2019, within Flux-IT, we had an overlooked financial service. It was highly profitable for us, but we had never given it much thought. With great skill, the executive we appointed to run the company (Marian, who is now also our partner) identified a potential new product there.So we founded Banco Útil, a corporate digital wallet that simplifies the payment of everything and has already netted a hundred million. Today it is developing more innovative solutions, such as paying taxes by credit card and specific credit lines for tax collection.
