I've been building and investing in companies in Latam for the last 7 years. After growing up in Seattle and studying in Los Angeles (USC), I moved to Bogotá in 2012 to help bridge the gap between the US start-up ecosystem and Colombia. Since then I've combined my passion for entrepreneurship, Latin America, and investments to build and scale several high growth businesses disrupting traditional industries in Colombia, cumulatively having raised over $15M in venture capital, created over 4000 jobs, and generated $60M+ in enterprise value. In 2015 I co-founded Mi Aguila, a workforce mobility company focused on privatizing mass transport in Latam, starting in Colombia. Over our mobile app and web app, we provide companies with mobility solutions including Corporate Taxi, Smart Shuttles, and Dynamic Bus Routes focused on safety, quality, and affordability. We are currently a venture backed 60 person business that services 200+ corporate customers in 6 cities in Colombia. As COO, I spend most of my time overseeing our growth, driver, and operations teams to ensure we hit our targets and deliver great service to our customers. I am also involved in a variety of investments primarily focused on real estate development, hospitality and early stage start-ups. Over the last 5 years, I have helped to structure, raise, invest and oversee an investment portfolio of over 20 investments (in the US and Colombia) totaling over $20M in invested capital. Currently I am an active board member and advisor to Mensajeros Urbanos, SuperFuds and the Click Clack hotel. I love music, traveling, and meeting new people.
