FourD

What FourD does

FourD is a privately held Brazilian boutique consulting firm founded in 2019 by Fabio Marques Santos and Fernando Nakamura, both former operators at high-growth startups Sprinklr, Pagar.me, and Stone. The firm delivers strategy, digital transformation, and program governance services to enterprise clients concentrated in three verticals: insurance, banking and financial services, and higher education. Named clients include Chubb, Prudential, PicPay, Banco Carrefour, Banco Randon, TransUnion, Afya, Cruzeiro do Sul, Uniasselvi, Grupo Anima, Vitru, EmanaPay (Natura), and Alelo.

The firm operates three interconnected service lines: Consultoria Estratégica (Strategic Consulting) covering business planning, value proposition design, and go-to-market execution; Transformação de Negócios (Business Transformation) covering process redesign, automation, and platform implementations across Salesforce, PegaSystems, VTEX, AWS, and Google Cloud; and Business Transformation Office (BTO), a governance and program management overlay for complex multi-stream programs. Delivery is grounded in proprietary methodologies — the 4 Ds Framework, BTO governance, CRM Integration and Optimization, GTM Strategy Framework, and Business Case Modeling.

FourD monetizes through professional services, with quote-based multi-year project engagements whose pricing is scoped per engagement rather than published as tiered packages. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with founders and senior leadership directly participating in client acquisition; growth is primarily referral-driven. The firm reports 80+ professionals distributed across 10 cities in Brazil, 150+ delivered initiatives since inception, and an average annual revenue growth rate of 70% year-over-year. No external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed.

• Stefanini: Brazilian IT services and consulting group with strong presence in banking, insurance and education. Competes for the same enterprise transformation mandates with a larger delivery bench and broader platform coverage.

Broad incumbents

• everis (NTT Data): Originally Spanish/LATAM-rooted consulting and technology firm now part of NTT Data, offering digital transformation, BPO, and platform-implementation services. Competes with FourD on banking and insurance transformation programs across Brazil.
