In an increasingly interconnected global economy, Katia Felix stands out as a strategic leader in the expansion of female entrepreneurship through scalable financial and educational business models. Recognised for her contribution to economic development and social impact, she operates at the intersection of finance, education and entrepreneurship, creating structures that generate income, professional autonomy and long-term economic value.
As Founder and President of As Donas do Banco, CEO of Vapt-Vupt Financial Solutions, and CEO of the corporate education platform Instituto K Felix, Katia Felix leads an integrated ecosystem designed to professionalise women in the financial sector and enable sustainable business growth across multiple markets.
Financial education as an economic growth driver
With an academic background in Business Administration and Marketing, a Postgraduate Degree in Business Management, an MBA in Negotiation and Sales (FGV), and an MBA in Entrepreneurship from University Must, Florida, Katia Felix combines technical expertise with market-driven strategy.
Her work focuses on preparing women to operate professionally within the financial, banking, educational and health-related services sectors, contributing to economic diversification, decentralised income generation and increased access to structured financial solutions.
“Financial education is not a personal advantage. It is a macroeconomic lever when applied at scale,” she states.
As Donas do Banco: a scalable economic platform
As Donas do Banco operates as a licensed business platform, enabling women to build independent, digitally driven operations with national and international reach. Through structured training, access to financial products and continuous strategic support, participants can operate remotely, serving diverse markets without geographical limitation.
Unlike traditional franchise models, the platform offers low entry barriers, operational flexibility and scalability, making it an efficient vehicle for:
• Income generation and financial inclusion
• Expansion of women-led micro and small businesses
• Decentralisation of financial services
• Strengthening of local and cross-border economies
• Sustainable economic participation
Economic impact and international expansion
The ecosystem led by Katia Felix has already impacted thousands of women and families, with a strategic objective to reach 30,000 active women by the end of 2026. This growth trajectory represents a significant multiplier effect on household income, local economies and service-based financial markets.
Beyond domestic operations, international expansion is underway through mentorship programmes, corporate training initiatives and cross-border partnerships, positioning the platform as a global hub for female entrepreneurship and financial empowerment.
Her consistent presence in business forums, corporate events, media platforms and leadership panels reinforces the project’s visibility and credibility within the global economic landscape.
Institutional recognition and governance
Katia Felix’s leadership is reinforced by institutional recognition at national and international levels, including:
• Commander of Elo Social do Brasil
• Luís Vaz de Camões Honour Award
• 50th Anniversary Medal of the International Peace Forces, awarded by ABFIP in connection with the United Nations
These distinctions underline a governance-oriented approach that aligns economic performance, social responsibility and long-term sustainability.
A purpose-driven economic vision
At the core of Katia Felix’s work is a clear economic thesis: when women gain structured access to financial knowledge and business models, economies become more resilient, inclusive and sustainable.
“Empowering women financially is not philanthropy. It is smart economics,” she concludes.
Through scalable platforms, corporate education and market-oriented strategy, Katia Felix continues to expand female participation in the global economy, shaping a new standard for sustainable growth driven by knowledge, structure and opportunity.
