the basics
I’m passionate about digital innovation, consumer psychology, marketing and data-driven businesses.
I’m the founder of MandaFacil, a U.S.-based venture helping families with roots in both the U.S. and Mexico get more value for their money — on both sides of the border. Instead of sending remittances, we enable Mexican migrants in the U.S. to buy high-quality goods, paid in dollars, and delivered directly to their families in Mexico — with no hidden fees and no bad exchange rates.
We offer flexible Buy Now, Pay Later options that allow families to split their payments into manageable installments — often with 0% interest — making essential purchases more accessible without added financial pressure.
We’re building the foundation for a cross-border neobank, unlocking smarter financial tools for millions in a $60B+ underserved market.
We believe commerce is just the beginning — this is about creating economic mobility and dignity for Latino families across borders 🇺🇸🇲🇽.
I’ve worked on multiple projects gaining lots of experience in automation with bots (chat/voice), data-driven market intel & marketing (crawling, processing and right usage of data), D2C E-commerce, improved efficiency of of traditional businesses using technology such as Aesthetic Medicine Clinics, Nail Salons, Rehab Clinics, B2B Loans, and some more.
I previously founded a startup making home renovation as easy as buying online, looking to disrupt the $450B+ home remodeling industry in the US (read more here).
Previously, I led After-Sales Communications for Mercedes-Benz Cars out of the headquarters in Stuttgart.
I started my career at Mercedes-Benz working as an Innovation Scout at the Business Innovation team of Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America in Silicon Valley, and after some time, I decided to embrace the next challenge at our headquarters. I was part of Mercedes-Benz for almost 5 years now and it was an awesome journey to be part of the digital transformation of the automotive industry.
Previous to Mercedes, I was the CEO & Co-founder of Staytuned, a Palo Alto-based Startup building contextual user interfaces. Before that, I used to be an Investment Banker at Cartagena Capital (now Bryan Garnier).
I’ve gathered experienced as an entrepreneur, investment banker and working with corporates both as an insider, as well as an external consultant or advisor. I equally enjoy innovation in the corporate or startup context and while they do have different advantages and disadvantages, I do not believe one is always better than the other one. I believe that they are simply different ways of reaching a goal, which is providing consumers with great services or products while maximizing profitability.
I’ve done some angle investments through New Horizons Venture Capital and I enjoy discussing with entrepreneurs about their ideas, products and services and always happy to provide advice or help when I believe in their vision and when I happen to know the space.
I am also an avid investor in stock, crypto, P2P lending, crowd-investing and more.
Besides that, as almost anyone nowadays, I consider traveling a hobby and I’ve gathered my fair share of stories in 50+ countries.
I also enjoy operating at the edge — literally. I recently applied for the Guinness World Record for the highest BBQ ever held, cooked at 5,561 meters (18,245 ft) on top of El Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s tallest volcano 🔥🌋. Just for the thrill of it.
