Patria Investments' senior leadership includes CEO Olimpio Matarazzo (appointed 2022) and founding partners Ricardo Bertol and Pedro Grassano. The European office is led by managing directors focused on client relations, though named individuals for that office are not publicly disclosed (per Patria's website and SEC filings).
