Lexington Partners has appointed  Cassio Casseb as a Senior Advisor focusing on Brazil.

(Press Release) Lexington Partners (“Lexington“), a leading global alternative investment manager, today announced the appointment of Cassio Casseb as a Senior Advisor focusing on Brazil.  Mr. Casseb is the former Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Pao de Acucar, and previously was president of Banco do Brasil, one of the country’s largest banks, and Credicard.

Mr. Casseb is a current member of the boards of directors of Mobly and the BBCE, and previously served on the boards of institutions including Netshoes, Lojas Marisa, Smiles Fidelidade, Coca-Cola Retail Latin America, Visa Latin America and Cetip.  A native of São Paulo, he received an MS in engineering from the Escola Politécnica at the Universidade de São Paulo.
