Six Partners

What Six Partners does

Six Partners Assessoria Especializada Ltda is a São Paulo-based boutique IT consulting firm founded in 2016 that serves large enterprise clients, primarily in the Brazilian financial services sector. The firm is staffed by six named senior professionals — Adalberto Araújo, André Farneze, Carlos de Almeida, Edson S. Moraes, Marcelo Picchioni, and Pedro Maruff — each with 30 to 40+ years of individual experience in IT, financial markets, and project management, including former CIO and IT manager tenures at Bank of America, Banco Real, and Banco Alfa. Documented client work includes engagement with international banks and a major national financial conglomerate on Brazilian Payment System (SPB) integration replacement, LGPD data-protection compliance, business continuity planning approved by Banco Central, and PMO corporate implementations recognized at CIAB.

The firm's service catalog is structured around five consulting pillars: Corporate and IT Governance, Market Evaluation (benchmarking and RFI/RFQ/RFP processes), IT Environment (architecture, infrastructure, cloud), Management Support (KPIs, SLAs, strategic planning alignment), and Policies & Procedures (process mapping, LGPD compliance, cybersecurity, business continuity). Six Partners leverages established frameworks — PMBOK, ITIL, CMM/CMMI, IBGC corporate governance practices — rather than proprietary technology products. The company has no API, SDK, mobile application, or software platform; all revenue is derived from bespoke professional services engagements.

Six Partners generates revenue through project-based and retainer-style consulting engagements sold directly to enterprise clients via a field-sales motion. The firm does not disclose pricing publicly; engagements are custom-quoted per scope. Distribution is direct-only, with no channel partners, resellers, or self-service options. Marketing is content-led, relying on a monthly blog covering corporate governance, AI, regulatory topics, and workforce aging to drive inbound enterprise inquiries. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and its geographic footprint is concentrated in Brazil despite the founding team's international experience.

Comparable as a direct competitor for IT-governance and regulatory-tech advisory work in Brazilian banks, but with significantly larger scale and offshore delivery.

Comparable as a Brazilian professional-services peer competing for the same enterprise transformation, governance, and operational-excellence mandates, though typically at larger scale and broader sector coverage than Six Partners.
