A fintech expert with 12+ years of experience steps in to accelerate growth across one of RiskSeal’s most active markets.
MONTERREY, MX / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / RiskSeal, a global alternative data provider for credit scoring, announces that Mauro Villarreal Garza has joined the team as Head of Growth & Partnerships.
Mauro brings 12+ years of fintech experience to the role. Most recently, he spent five years at LexisNexis leading market planning for digital credit risk across Latin America. He knows the challenges local lenders face and what it actually takes to build trust with partners there.
In a region where millions remain outside the reach of traditional credit assessment due to economic and social factors, RiskSeal makes the invisible, visible,” said Mauro. “Beyond alternative data, institutions also need partners capable of navigating complex regulatory environments while delivering seamlessly integrable solutions. This is precisely what makes RiskSeal a strategic player in the Latin American market – uniquely positioned to help any credit-issuing organization make smarter, faster, and more confident lending decisions.
LATAM is already a core market for the RiskSeal team. Today, the region accounts for 40% of the company’s global operations. Clients like Klar, Banco Plata and Moneyman are already using RiskSeal’s digital footprint data to build stronger, more predictive credit models.
And there’s still a lot of room to grow – millions of people across the region still lack a traditional credit history. This is exactly the problem RiskSeal was built to solve.
Mauro joins to grow that further – through new partnerships and stronger regional presence overall.
“Latin America is one of the most exciting credit markets in the world right now,” said Artem Lalaiants, CEO and Co-Founder at RiskSeal. “Mauro has a strong track record in the region, is deeply trusted by industry peers and brings real expertise in credit scoring. He’s going to help us expand our presence and deliver more value across LATAM. Glad to have him on board.”
