Alessio Alionco is the Brazilian-born founder and CEO of Pipefy, a San Francisco-based AI-driven process automation platform he built from scratch in 2015.

His prior venture, Acessozero, grew to 1 million users before being acquired by Brazilian local-search giant Apontador in 2012 - a deal that planted the seeds for Pipefy.
