Derek Bittar brings a distinctive mix of backgrounds to his work at Indicator Capital—he's fluent in Portuguese, English, German, and French, chairs his family's business council tied to Pernambucanas (a century-old Brazilian retailer), and has pushed to put Brazil on the global IoT map while sitting on boards for frontier projects like ARVORE's VR work on The Boys: Trigger Warning. He also stands out for writing openly about how to adapt North American venture practices to Brazil, judging founders on whether they can handle complex corporate sales environments, and speaking up on how AI is reshaping jobs and workloads rather than just treating it as an investment trend.
