Background & Biography
Guilherme Nazar advises Binance’s leadership following its June 2026 succession. He also sits on Z.ro Global Payments’ advisory council. His earlier executive roles at Uber, Loft and Binance form the background to this advisory work.
Nazar’s business background predates cryptocurrency. Binance’s December 2022 appointment announcement records a business-administration degree from ESPM in São Paulo and previous leadership at Uber and Loft. At Uber, his latest role was head of operations for Brazil. He subsequently held vice-president and general-manager responsibilities at property-technology company Loft.
A contemporaneous Uber announcement makes the earlier operating role concrete. In October 2019, the company identified Nazar as its Brazil operations director when introducing a test of a passenger-identification feature. The optional feature used a coloured phone screen to help a driver find a waiting passenger in difficult pickup conditions. It was scheduled for trials in five Brazilian cities. Nazar explained the operational problem in terms of crowded events and poor visibility, grounding a technology announcement in a specific interaction between users.
He joined Binance in September 2022 and was announced as Brazil general manager that December. The company described a remit involving the local team, partnerships and business development. In July 2024, it expanded his position to regional vice-president for Latin America. The announcement expressly named the country managers for Mexico and for Colombia, Central America and the Caribbean as part of that structure.
Notable Contributions
Nazar’s regional work included public explanation of local-currency access. Binance’s 2024 appointment announcement discussed services adapted to Latin American markets, including the addition of Mexican-peso and Colombian-peso trading pairs alongside existing regional currencies. His stated focus was on shaping products around users’ requirements and market conditions.
In May 2025, Binance announced the integration of Binance Pay with Brazil’s Pix system. Nazar explained it as adapting a global product to local requirements. The service converted supported digital assets into Brazilian reais for payment through the national system. His explanation therefore addressed the link between a crypto-funded transaction and the local-currency payment received through infrastructure already familiar to users.
A December 2025 Binance announcement extended the service to Argentine users paying in Brazil. It again quoted Nazar on adapting products to local demand. The defined cross-border context was travel and spending: an Argentine customer could use digital assets while the recipient was paid through Brazil’s existing payment infrastructure.
The National Council of the Public Prosecutor’s Office’s March 2025 seminar programme scheduled Nazar to present on the crypto market’s development prospects. It identified him as Binance’s then-regional vice-president for Latin America, providing a named contribution to a public-sector educational forum.
Z.ro’s own company announcement welcomed Nazar to its advisory council alongside Silvio Meira and Eduardo Gouveia, connecting his arrival with its international expansion plans. This is a separate professional relationship from his role at Binance.
Finsiders Brasil’s July 31, 2026 account adds Nazar’s explanation of the Z.ro relationship. He said that he had followed the business for several years and first encountered it as a customer. The appointment therefore was described publicly in terms of familiarity with its technology and operating model. The article places his arrival within the company’s business-to-business payments strategy.
