In this episode of Branded, hosted by Ben Kaplan, we sit down with Camilla Matias, COO of Brex, to unpack the bold decisions, hard-earned lessons, and unconventional thinking behind one of FinTech’s most remarkable scale-ups.
Camilla joined Brex when it was a scrappy startup solving one problem: helping fellow founders get access to corporate credit. Today, Brex is a global financial platform used by both startups and Fortune 500 giants.
We explore:

• How Brex went from “do everything” chaos to ruthless focus
• Why scaling down was key to scaling up
• The power of building your own infrastructure—and your own brand
• How a Brazilian mindset shaped Brex’s adaptability and culture
• What most leaders get wrong about growth, AI, and simplification

Whether you're a founder, operator, marketer, or just obsessed with how great companies grow—this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.
