Senior Associate at Taram Capital. I'm passionate about new technologies, reading the market and working side by side with founders building the future of B2B in Latin America.

I work as a Senior Associate at Taram Capital, a venture capital fund focused on B2B technology companies in Latin America. Before that I was an Associate at Wayra, Telefónica's CVC, where I learned to evaluate early-stage startups, to read teams, and to understand what separates a good idea from a company that can truly scale. I want my role at Taram to be not just filtering opportunities, but truly understanding them: asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, connecting signals others overlook, and being a counterpart who both challenges and supports founders. In venture, rigor and speed aren't at odds; the art is combining them to make better decisions when it matters most. What drives me most today is everything happening with AI. I stay on top of the trends shaping the market — new models, tools and ways of building products — because I feel we're at an inflection point where creating and experimenting has never been so cheap. More than collecting novelties, I'm interested in understanding how these technologies change the competitive dynamics of industries and what new opportunities they open for founders in Latin America. Outside of work I'm a Pokémon card fan: I like the collecting side, the strategy and, honestly, speculating on how the price of that portfolio I'm building will evolve over time. I'm passionate about restaurants and good food — so much so that I have my own rating for every place I go. And few things I like more than a good barbecue paired with better conversation. When I have free time, I'm also a tester for several indie video-game developers.
