Career

In 1998, while at UNICAMP, Bloisi co-founded a company initially called Intraweb with Fábio Póvoa. Which offered software and IT solutions.

In 2013, Movile invested in iFood, a food delivery startup founded in 2011. At the time, iFood had approximately 20 employees. Bloisi became CEO of iFood in 2019.
During Bloisi's tenure as CEO, iFood expanded its operations. According to company data cited by Folha de S.Paulo, the platform grew from 45 million to 60 million customers between March 2023 and February 2024, with monthly orders increasing from 38 million to 88 million during the same period. By 2024, iFood reported working with over 350,000 restaurants and 300,000 delivery workers.

Controversy

In February 2024, Bloisi made statements to Folha de S.Paulo suggesting that within ten years, people would no longer cook at home because food delivery would become as affordable as home cooking. The comments generated criticism from culinary professionals and cultural commentators. Chef Rita Lobo publicly criticized the statements, according to Estado de S.Paulo. iFood subsequently issued a clarification statement.
As CEO of Prosus and Naspers, Bloisi has faced criticism from labor organizations. In August 2024, a Canadian-based shareholder association linked to trade unions challenged the companies' labor practices, according to TechCentral.
iFood's market position has also drawn scrutiny from competition authorities and competitors regarding market concentration issues.
