AKPI Frédy Ricardo
Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Frédy Ricardo AKPI is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of VERIION. He started the company in 2026 around a technical conviction: build the missing layers first — artificial intelligence, identity, payments, delivery, measurement — then the products that sit on top of them.
He holds a dual role as chief executive and architect of that foundation. In practice he arbitrates what belongs in the shared infrastructure and what stays specific to a product — a decision that determines the cost of every new platform and the speed at which a market can be opened. That discipline is what put two platforms into production within months of incorporation.
He leads the company's growth strategy, its partnerships with telecom carriers and institutions, and its relationship with investors.
