Already a member of the Board, Barros has a successful track record as an entrepreneur, and as an intrapreneur leading industry-recognized business and digital transformation for Fortune 100 companies and global advertising agencies.

VSBLTY Co-Founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, "We are indeed fortunate to have attracted Luiz to our leadership team.

Besides acting as a board member and advisor for private and public listed companies, Barros has a successful career as an entrepreneur with two successful exits. He was recently the Global Senior Vice President of Data, Analytics, Media & Digital Products for Anheuser-Busch InBev. Under his leadership, the company went through a successful transformation that put the company on the forefront of data-driven marketing, tripled the marketing ROI and was recognized by the industry with awards such as the "Most Innovative Company in North America" by Fast Company in 2021 and "Creative Marketer of the Year" in Cannes both in 2022 and 2023—the first time a company ever won this recognition two years in a row.

About his new role at VSBLTY, he stated that, "Retail Media is now considered the third wave of digital advertising, but we need to remember that more than 80% of total sales happen in physical stores. Leveraging data, analytics, audience targeting and measurement, in physical retail, is the holy grail for brands and no company is as ready as VSBLTY to deliver it. I'm honored with the trust that the Company's management and Board is placing on me and am excited to lead this industry transformation."
