Numen, a leading technology solutions consulting firm, ended 2025 with a 23% increase in revenue and a 40% expansion in its workforce, reaching approximately 1,300 employees.
To transform this rapid expansion into sustainable growth, the company announces the appointment of Alexandre Araújo as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a strategic addition to the company’s finance department and governance structures.
This hiring is part of an effort to strengthen management, with a focus on strategic planning, monitoring results, and supporting future growth cycles.
Who is Alexandre Araújo, Numen’s new CFO?
With a degree in Economics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC) and an MBA in Finance from the New York Institute of Finance, Alexandre Araújo has built a solid career in the financial market, working primarily in investment funds.
Throughout his career, he has worked in various sectors, including:
- Education
- Health
- Food
- Retail
This experience across different sectors should contribute directly to Numen’s priorities for 2026, including greater segmentation by business lines and support for the consulting firm’s mergers and acquisitions strategy.
“I had the opportunity to get to know Numen as a client and was able to see firsthand the firm’s commitment and dedication to delivering projects. I had no hesitation in accepting the opportunity, since the company—in addition to being well-regarded in the market—has been experiencing rapid growth that needs to be supported by more robust governance structures, areas in which I have solid experience in coordination.”
Alexandre Araújo, CFO of Numen.
Numen’s Challenge: Transforming Rapid Growth into Sustainable Expansion
The announcement is celebrated by Andreia Yukie Tsuruhame, CEO of Numen Brazil, who has been consolidating a more structured management model, featuring strategic planning, goal setting, and monitoring procedures.
After closing out 2025 with 23% revenue growth and a 40% increase in its workforce, the company projects double-digit growth in 2026.
However, the priority is now not only the pace of expansion, but also the consolidation of a structure capable of sustaining results through governance, organization, and disciplined execution.
“Growth isn’t limitless when a business depends on people. You have to train, organize, and set the pace.”
Andreia Yukie Tsuruhame, CEO of Numen Brasil.
Strengthening Leadership and Corporate Governance
The arrival of Alexandre Araújo continues a trend that began in 2025, when Numen hired four industry executives for strategic areas such as operations, sales, marketing, and human resources.
The goal was to strengthen the company’s internal structures and prepare the business for a new phase of expansion.
“There’s no point in piling up growth without a solid foundation. The structure must come before the results.”
Andreia Yukie Tsuruhame, CEO of Numen Brasil.
As CFO, Araújo has taken on the mission of supporting Numen’s expansion plans and strengthening corporate governance.
Among its main responsibilities are:
- Strengthening financial governance structures
- Ensuring information security
- Establishing procedures for monitoring results
- Developing metrics to support strategic decisions
- Consolidating the finance department as the guardian of compliance and corporate governance
More than just monitoring financial indicators, the proposal is to expand the department’s strategic role in business sustainability.
Numen’s Goals for 2026 and 2030
The company has set ambitious goals for the coming years, combining business expansion with the strengthening of its organizational structure.
Among the main goals are:
- Double-digit growth in 2026, maintaining the positive momentum recorded in 2025
- Tripling revenue by 2030, consolidating a path of sustainable growth
- Strengthening corporate governance with more robust processes, metrics, and structures
- Increasing the seniority of the finance team, improving performance monitoring and strategic analysis
To achieve these objectives, the new CFO intends to leverage the experience of the existing team and bring even more seniority to the team, thereby enhancing control, predictability, and the quality of financial decisions.
Mergers and Acquisitions as Part of the Growth Strategy
With governance as the foundation, Alexandre Araújo also intends to contribute to Numen’s growth both organically and through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
This strategy has recently gained traction at the consulting firm, which announced the acquisition of a 25% stake in Backlgrs, a partner specializing in Salesforce solutions.
This move underscores Numen’s commitment to expanding its operations, strengthening its capabilities, and exploring new market opportunities.
In this context, the finance department will play a key role in monitoring investments, analyzing opportunities, and building a structure capable of supporting the company’s expansion.
“Numen has excellent profit margins, which shows that we have a promising future ahead of us. My role, alongside the team, will be to continue this cycle of growth, with stronger structure and governance for the coming years.”
Alexandre Araújo, CFO of Numen.
A New Phase of Growth for Numen
The arrival of the new CFO represents yet another step toward consolidating a management model focused on results, planning, and governance.
Following a period of strong expansion, Numen is seeking to balance growth and structure, preparing its operations to achieve long-term goals with greater predictability and security.
The combination of experienced leadership, financial discipline, and an expansion strategy will be essential to sustaining the company’s growth in the coming years.
