The CEO of Lojas Americanas, Sergio Rial, resigned this Wednesday (11) after discovering “inconsistencies in the budget” of R$ 20 billion in the company’s balance sheet.
Rial assumed the presidency of the retail group in early 2023; he spent only 8 days in office. His name was announced in August last year and was well received by the financial market at the time. In addition to Rial, Americanas investor relations director André Covre also left the company.
The CEO, however, will remain as advisor to Americanas’ reference shareholders, the trio of billionaires at the head of the 3G Capital investment fund – Jorge Paulo Lemann, Beto Sicupira and Marcel Telles.
The heightened spirits of the financial market generated memes on social networks. Imagine waking up and finding an “inconsistency” of BRL 20 billion?
Tough day for accountants.
Surprise!
Unbelievable.
Welcome to the club!
It was from Mesbla, from Vasp, from Ricardo Eletro.
Self-regulation?
Tough day for shareholders too.
How come?
Americanas is one of the biggest advertisers on Big Brother Brasil 2023, which premieres on January 16 on Rede Globo.
