A pioneer of Latin America’s startup ecosystem, I’ve spent over three decades creating companies, supporting founders, and building the programs and capital structures that push innovation forward. From launching Mexico’s first internet portal and leading high-growth telecom and med-tech ventures, to founding Wayra Mexico and building Startup Mexico into the country’s largest entrepreneurial initiative, my career has centered on one mission: help entrepreneurs turn bold ideas into scalable companies. I am also a 7 year veteran as a Shark in the Shark Tank Mexico TV series. Today, I head Startup Mexico, Mexico Limited and am an angel investor in over 80+ startups, and advisor and board member across dozens of companies. I also teach and speak globally on entrepreneurship, venture capital, and innovation — engaging with audiences at MIT, IPADE, ITESM, ISDI, and major industry stages worldwide.
