Joined March 2025
Banker, VC, writer… master of none, mentor of many MBA hopefuls
I’m a bilingual Harvard Business School MBA candidate who split his upbringing between Mexico and the United States. After earning AP Scholar with Distinction honors in high school, I completed an Industrial & Systems Engineering degree that grounded me in data-driven problem-solving. My career began in UNIFIN’s Special Projects group, where I evaluated the company’s potential conversion from the largest leasing platform in Latin America into a fully licensed bank. I then helped build a boutique investment-banking firm from the ground up before joining IGNIA, a leading Mexico-based VC fund. At IGNIA I deployed capital across 7+ Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A companies, led our pipeline and investment process, overhauled and streamlined our internal workflows, and became the firm’s first Senior Associate. Today I’m adding operating experience at a venture studio and its flagship startup while finishing my MBA. Beyond the numbers, I enjoy the written word: 99th-percentile score on the GRE writing assessment, published contributor and ghostwriter on Seeking Alpha, and editor at The Harbus. Coaching is simply my way to pay forward the guidance I’ve received. Clients can expect straightforward frameworks, candid feedback, and a blend of analytical rigor with clear storytelling to help their applications stand out.
