Luana Hipólide joins Grupo Taking as VP of Talent
Taking announces the arrival of Luana Hipólide as Vice President of Talent. The executive joins at a strategic moment for the company with a clear objective: connect people management directly to business growth.
A move that reflects a moment
Luana's arrival comes after the company closed 2025 with approximately R$ 150 million in revenue, around one thousand employees, and relevant advances in operational efficiency. Taking is now directing its efforts toward scaling, deepening client relationships, and the strategic use of data and artificial intelligence.
In this context, strengthening the Talent area is not a detail, it is a condition for growing with consistency.
In the words of CEO Marco Romero:
"Taking is going through an important moment of evolution. Our challenge now is to consolidate growth with consistency, efficiency, and proximity to the client. Luana's arrival strengthens exactly these pillars."
The profile the role demands
Throughout her career, Luana has accumulated experience in complex negotiations, scalable operations structuring, and building high-performance teams, working directly with C-level leadership with a focus on value generation and sustainable growth.
She arrives with a clear vision of the role Talent needs to play: a strategic pillar, not an operational support function. This means treating the entire employee journey with the same discipline applied to a business operation: with predictability, efficiency, and a focus on results.
"I arrive with a lot of energy and a sense of responsibility for the size of the challenge and, above all, for the potential this company has."
Retention as a construction — not a reaction
One of the central points of Luana's vision is how she approaches retention: not as a response to isolated problems, but as the result of a continuous process, starting with quality hiring, moving through clarity of context and close follow-up, and sustaining itself throughout the entire journey.
The executive advocates for an integrated management of the entire employee journey, with a focus on engagement, development, and retention as the foundation for sustainable growth and long-term margin protection.
"I will work to fully integrate Talent with the business, bringing speed, quality, and above all, predictability to the operation."
