Bio

I have been buying and selling apartments as side-business for the past 15 years. Started my career with +5 years of management consulting experience in the banking and insurance sector. In 2016 decided to quit my job and co-founded an ag-tech startup to improve productivity and efficiency for small farmers in Colombia, failed after 18 months. Then co-founded a consumer business to sell healthy snacks in Colombia and sold part of it to a FMCG player in Colombia during COVID.
