Vasco Vaz Rodrigues is the Chief Marketing Officer at Aurum Solutions, a fast-growing fintech firm that provides automated reconciliation software to the global iGaming and gambling industry. Based in London, he moved from Portugal to the UK in late 2020 to join the company during a critical period of strategic and leadership transformation. Over four years, Rodrigues helped scale Aurum from 8 to nearly 80 employees, increased revenue by almost 20-fold, multiplied yearly lead generation by 10x, and oversaw the opening of two new offices. Under his marketing leadership, Aurum expanded its client base globally, sponsored events across Europe, North America, South America and Asia, and won a 'Fintech of the Year' award – all while remaining profitable and avoiding external investment.
Rodrigues is a regular speaker and moderator in the iGaming community. He hosts the podcast series Bets & Balance Sheets (produced in partnership with SBC Media), where he discusses market expansion, financial risks and compliance with industry leaders. He also contributed to Aurum's own podcast on financial operations at scale, and has been featured in conversations with BetComply on building trust through compliance. Rodrigues has written thought-leadership pieces for Creative Pool, challenging industry stereotypes in fintech.
Outside of Aurum, his background includes other high-growth fintech/SaaS companies, giving him seven years of experience in the space before becoming CMO. He holds no formal marketing degree, but credits his success to resilience, iterative execution, and surrounding himself with a supportive team.
