Anibal de Frankenberg

I am a co-founder of Elevva, a company that was born with the idea of empowering leading brands and products in Latin American e-commerce through partnerships that bring operational know-how, technology and investments in working capital. We operate in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Argentina, and hope to be operating in more markets in the region very soon. Over the past five years, as a member of Lazard's Consumer & Retail Investment Banking team, I worked on advising multiple companies in M&A and debt restructuring processes throughout Latin America. As a financial advisor, I could watch first-hand the complexities and challenges faced by LatAm companies operating in the e-commerce and retail industries. I cannot be more bullish on the great potential of this region, where digital commerce is growing faster than anywhere else on the planet! I studied Economics at Universidad de San Andrés, where I graduated first in my class with Summa Cum Laude honors, and I’m currently an MBA Candidate at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Entrepreneurship is my passion. I'm constantly looking for new ways to leverage on Latin America's potential by maximizing the unique talent and opportunities that exist in this region. Along with the Elevva team, we are currently looking to partner up and acquire leading e-commerce vendors in Latin America to make their brands and products reach their full potential.
