I lead efforts as Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Investments through the Platform for Social Impact to direct capital toward solving the systemic challenges for economic mobility for families in Puerto Rico.

A mix of experiences over the past 20+ years as a computer/software engineer, tech entrepreneur, lawyer, Angel investor, VC investor, Limited Partner/fund investor, and innovation ecosystem builder among others has made it clear that without conversations and solutions for enabling more asset ownership among those of that came from and are still at the bottom of the pyramid, we'll never build a world where every child, regardless of circumstances, has the opportunity for a dignified life and to explore who they want to be. I believe PSI has the opportunity to "show, not tell" what's possible when capital meets execution wrapped in the right values and focused on building community wealth.

I am the product of Puerto Rico's public education system, where I graduated top of my class at C.R.O.E.M. I'm originally from Guayama, Puerto Rico.

I am a Kauffman Fellow and co-Chair for the Emerging Manager Special Interest Group supporting Fellows launching and growing new funds around the world. As a Fellow, my research has focused on increasing access to capital for under-invested opportunities in science and technology.

I also designed and serve on the selection committee for Parallel 18, a global accelerator based in Puerto Rico, where they now have a portfolio of 200+ seed/series A companies from 67 countries across multiple verticals that have collectively raised over $300M in venture capital funding from investors from Silicon Valley, New York, and beyond.
