Felipe Aragao, Global Vice President, Analytics, Anheuser-Busch InBev

Felipe Aragao’s path to power

An MBA graduate of the MIT Sloan School of Management, Aragao spent many years in banking and private equity funding before joining Anheuser-Busch as global director of revenue management in 2015. He then moved into growth analytics and then into his current role as global vice president, analytics. When AB InBev merged with SAB Miller in 2016, Aragao was a key player in overcoming the challenges of combining the two businesses. Unusually, the company decided to target legal and compliance first as a test case for transformation reimagining these back-office functions to become digital quickly.
