Obsessed with consumer behavior, human centered design, company building, and strategic storytelling. I spend my days investing and building technology companies for the sake of humans, not for the sake of technology.
Here's my story:
I am a liberal arts thinker and sociologist turned entrepreneur, company builder, and investor. I spend my days leading and investing in teams reimagining outdated industries.
Currently, I work at Rokk3r Labs as a partner leading the Think division, and at Level Ventures running consumer tech investing. My life’s work is committed to investing and helping founders build empathetic technology products that make human life better.
Previously, I was a co-founder and CEO of Bib + Tuck. And before that, I spent two years doing Investment Banking at Barclays Capital.
In my spare time, I write about humanizing tech, building the future, personal growth, and raising children. I also post a bunch of selfies and baby/toddler photos.
Born and raised in Colombia, educated in Rhode Island, trained in NYC, and developing my life’s work in Miami.

Current Projects
I advise Joule.ai, a chat-based task distribution service that gets your menial development and design tasks done. Joule removes workflow roadblocks by taking care of tasks like renewing SSL certificates, re-sizing images, and fixing bugs. It's the answer for stressed out small business owners, overwhelmed project managers, and under-resourced tech and development departments.

This is my System

Commit to continuous personal growth
Stay away from negative people
Assume responsibility and ownership for your life.
Be grateful and keep problems in perspective
Process > Outcomes
