The inefficiencies that deter capital—fragmented markets, governance gaps, limited institutional presence—are exactly where the opportunity lies.I focus on unlocking that opportunity.I am a Founding Partner at Emerald Peak, where we invest in and scale middle-market businesses across Central America and broader Latin America. Our approach combines private equity discipline with a deep understanding of local market realities—because execution in this region requires a different playbook.Over the past 20+ years, I have worked across M&A, corporate structuring, and risk management, advising and investing in companies navigating complex growth and cross-border transactions. My experience sits at the intersection of legal structuring and investment strategy—an edge that becomes critical in frontier and emerging markets.What I focus on:- Middle-market buyouts and growth equity- Cross-border structuring and transaction execution- Value creation through governance, financial discipline, and operational scaling- Sectors including green economy, circular economy, and financial inclusionI believe that impact and returns are not trade-offs in Central America—they are often aligned. Markets that are underserved tend to offer both stronger upside and more meaningful outcomes.On LinkedIn, I share insights on:- Private equity in Central America- Frontier market investing realities- Deal structuring and execution- Lessons from working with family-owned and mid-sized businessesIf you are an LP, investor, or operator interested in the region, feel free to connect or reach out.
