About Me

I am a tech fan, lover of gadgets and geeky stuff. I enjoy every flight and place I visit as if it was the last. I live each day with a promise of making at least one thing to fulfill my long-term objectives.

As a former young entrepreneur, I rode the highs and lows of co-founding a startup. From raising funds to almost breaking the company (at least 5 times in 4 years). After that ride, I joined Shopear, where as Head of Product my main responsibility is to make a great social commerce platform for product and brands discovery in latin America.

Recently I decided to make THE trip of my life, by stopping by 5-10 days in each country in Asia, and Europe. Hope to meet you soon, and hang out in your city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-founded a high tech company in Silicon Valley at the age of 18 years old (www.shovelapps.com) that received numerous awards and raised over 650k in funding at a 6M pre-money valuation. I left the company after 4 years (in oct, 2016) to join Shopear (a social marketplace in latin america) as Head of Product.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about new ventures and entrepreneurship related to technology. I am always looking forward to exchanging experiences and help other on their way to start new companies.
Previously I participated of the 3rd batch of the MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp in Seoul, South Korea. Currently, I am part of the admission interviewers team, so if you are looking to start your entrepreneurial journey, ping me! I am always open to help :)
