    Eduardo Almeida

    CEO and Founder

    Hi, my name is Eduardo and I am the CEO and founder of Wise Option. In 2002, while studying IT at Oklahoma City University, I created the software system, ‘Ranch Manager,’ as part of my master’s thesis.

    Today, I spend much of my time visiting Wise Option customers, including vet hospitals, equine reproduction facilities, and small animal clinics, gaining valuable information to make our product even more effective.
