Elias Chavando

Few people in business can say they have actually built what they teach.

I am Elías Chavando. Over 27 years I have directed AutoTrader.com — the largest automotive classified website in the world — founded Reagan.com, the largest independent email service in the United States, built RadioVisa, the largest Spanish-language talk-radio network in America, pioneered videoconferencing as founder of TVO Communications, and served as President of Radio Fórmula Network. I have raised over $170 million in private equity and venture capital. One of my exits delivered a 383,233% return — a company launched with $6,000, sold at $23 million, 18 months later.

I have consulted to more than 110 organizations worldwide. I have built and led sales teams of 5 to 1,500 people. I currently serve on the boards of several companies.

I am not a coach who read books about business. I am an executive who built it.

Today I channel 27 years of hard-won experience into four roles:

Keynote Speaker — I speak in English and Spanish on negotiation psychology, AI-era leadership, moral injury in organizations, and the competitive power of Latin American culture. Available for conferences and corporate events in the US, Mexico, Spain, and Latin America.

Business Consultant — I help mid-to-large companies redesign their sales systems and growth strategies for measurable results.

Executive Coach — I work with leaders who want clarity, momentum, and the kind of performance that compound over time.

Creator — La Psicología de la Negociación Ganadora™ — 7 modules, 33 principles. Available at chavando.com.

Based in Los Angeles. Operating on both sides of the border.
