Marco Silveira is a proud LGBTQ+ leader and inclusion ambassador at iFood, Brazil’s biggest food delivery platform. As Tax Manager and a member of LGBTI+ Amor, iFood’s LGBTQ+ employee resource group, Marco has helped drive a cultural shift toward inclusive hiring by supporting the decision to ensure all new Tax team hires come from underrepresented groups. This shared effort contributed to building a leadership team where 100% of leaders identify as women, Black, or LGBTQ+. Marco played a key role in establishing mentorship programs and advocating for LGBTQ+ professionals’ inclusion in corporate leadership development, helping create clearer pathways to senior roles. He has been a visible advocate at internal Pride events and external speaking engagements at two major diversity-ambassador companies. Through partnerships with LGBTQ+ consultancies and collaboration with the People team on bias-mitigation technology, he helped ensure fairer evaluations and promotion processes. The Tax team’s recognition as the Most Diverse and Inclusive Team of the Americas for three consecutive years reflects a collective commitment that Marco is proud to champion and to continue building.
