PT: Encerramos o ano de 2024 com uma importante conquista para a Salú: o nosso quarto ano de operação e o primeiro ciclo completo de crescimento "Triple, Triple, Double, Double" do nosso SaaS B2B, com geração de caixa desde 2022. Esse resultado é reflexo de um time que se cobra muito, é resiliente, foca 100% na execução, participa pouco de podcast e coloca o cliente em primeiro lugar. Ver a Salú alcançar, desde Março/21, mais de 360.000 colaboradores ativos sob gestão e ~600 empresas clientes, nos deixa animados para os próximos anos da empresa. Entendemos que a saúde corporativa nunca passou por um momento tão importante e que os times de recursos humanos estão se transformando cada vez mais em protagonistas na criação dos novos pilares que estão redefinindo o setor.

Today, I’m excited to introduce Spektion, the company my co-founders and I—career cybersecurity practitioners—started to address the persistent and underserved problem of third-party software security. This issue continues to expose organizations to unnecessary risk, and we believe it’s time for a new approach. We’re currently in limited availability, working closely with early customers to refine our platform and validate its impact. Spektion is redefining how security programs manage software security risk, and we’re just getting started. If you’re interested in a sneak preview of what we’re building, I’d love to connect.
