Director

  • Jefferson Frauches Viana’s career in the debt collection industry spans back to 1985 when he commenced as debt collection manager for a Swiss Pharmaceutical company Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 1991 a government initiated change in Brazil’s economic landscape gave Jefferson the opportunity to establish his own debt collection business. He seized this opportunity with both hands, and founded Way Back (WB) in June 1991, a local collection agency based in Sao Paulo.
  • Since then the provision of high quality financial and credit recovery services has been a driving force behind WB’s evolution into a major national service provider, with branch offices now operating in Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Recife, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Campinas and Fortaleza.
  • Jefferson has orchestrated WB’s expansion with a highly considered and strategic approach to growing the capabilities of the business. Each of WB’s branches gives the capacity to meet client’s requirements anywhere throughout the country, providing experience and expertise in the areas of credit reporting, collections and resolution of related legal issues.
  • WB’s success in providing high quality services to the Brazil’s international trade community has seen Jefferson invited to assume Directorship of International Affairs for ASERC, a national association for credit recovery companies. WB is extremely proud to contribute to ASERC in this manner, as the role enables Jefferson to assert WB’s continual commitment to the Brazilian credit recovery market.
