About

I build partnerships that move money and move businesses forward. I’m Head of New Business, LATAM at OpenFX, helping fintechs (PSPs, remitters, and platforms) modernize cross border money movement with FX and stablecoin rails. The goal is faster settlement, more predictable execution, and economics that scale across MX, BR, CO, and AR, with more currencies launching in the coming months. Before OpenFX, I was on the founding team at Yuno, where we helped global enterprises simplify payment complexity, improve approval rates, and expand into new markets faster. I led global partnerships, managing strategic relationships with partners across regions and bringing new capabilities to market through tight alignment across commercial and product teams. Earlier, I was employee number two at Rappi Mexico, helping launch and scale the business from the ground up. That environment taught me speed, ownership, and how to win with imperfect information. What defines how I work is clarity, speed, and mutual upside. I like ambitious teams, hard problems, and partnerships that create durable value. I’m based in Miami and work across LATAM. If you are building cross border flows (payouts, remittances, treasury, or international expansion) and want to compare notes on corridors, FX costs, or settlement reliability, DM me “LATAM FX.” Proud RiseUp 24 alum, committed to expanding access and representation in fintech.
