Partner at Salkantay ∙ Venture Capitalist ∙ Investor ∙ Innovator ∙ Founder ∙ Strategist . Young Global Leader
I am a Venture Capitalist with a passion for innovation, positive impact and Latin America. I collaborate with intrepid founders, visionary investors and strategic allies to identify great innovative ideas and transform them in successful companies that improve the lives of millions.
I am a co Founder and Partner at Salkantay, an impact investments asset manager focused in the Pacific Alliance and with presence in Lima, San Francisco and New York. As an investor, I have gained end to end experience building, managing and divesting alternative portfolios at Salkantay and Enfoca, working from setup to fundraising, from prospection to investment, and from value creation to successful exit.
I have held direct managerial positions (CEO, CMO, CFO,...) during turn around and change management situations and worked across Latin America as a Management Consultant for Bain & Co. During my professional life I have experienced failure and seen success and learned hard lessons.

I try to give back and continue building a strong professional ecosystem by serving on Boards, performing as Member, Panelist, Mentor, Instructor, and Professor at various local and global organizations and executive and grad programs. I believe in the value of building a network of collaboration for life focused on shared values and dreams for Peru, Latin America and the world.
