Throughout his career, he has worked in close partnership with global, regional, and local teams, transforming consumer understanding into tangible commercial impact from diagnosis to action plan.

Bolt Insight has already conducted more than 5 million consumer interviews across 90+ markets and delivers reports in rapid time, enabling teams to make faster decisions without compromising on quality.
Hakan Yurdakul, CEO and Co-Founder of Bolt Insight, commented, “Latin America is a strategic region for Bolt Insight. We already support global organisations such as Unilever, Reckitt, Amazon, Danone and BSH, among other global clients, and we are proud to deliver projects across multiple markets in the region. We see a strong opportunity to bring a more agile, future-ready approach to Latin America combining depth of insight with practical guidance for business growth. Elvys brings together strategic thinking, commercial leadership, and deep research expertise, as well as a strong understanding of how insight drives growth. We are thrilled to welcome him to the team.”
Said Elvys Nunes, “Bolt Insight has been redefining how organisations connect with real consumers, combining the speed of artificial intelligence with human understanding and strong governance. I have always believed that insight, when connected to business context, should be a driver of growth and innovation, especially in globally competitive markets, where deep consumer and market understanding becomes a true competitive advantage. I am excited to join a company that places this principle at the center of decision-making.”
The appointment coincides with Bolt Insight’s official launch in Latin America, marked by the company’s presence at ESOMAR LATAM 2026, taking place March 22–24 in Rio de Janeiro.
