Nu Holdings Ltd taps ex-Amazon veteran Diego Piacentini for board as Nubank pushes toward U.S. bank launch
Nu Holdings appointed former Amazon and Apple executive Diego Piacentini to its board Wednesday as it prepares for U.S. expansion. The company ended 2025 with 131 million customers and $894.8 million in fourth-quarter net income. Nu is seeking full U.S. bank approval after conditional OCC clearance in January. Competition from MercadoLibre, Chime, and Revolut is intensifying.
