About

Always ahead
of the wave.

I was born in Peru and grew up in Canada. My mother's side of the family is German, British, and Peruvian. My father's is Peruvian, Spanish, and Italian. That mix of cultures, languages, and perspectives has shaped everything about how I see the world and how I move through it.

I received my business training in Canada and Germany. My career started in the field doing what most people find impossible: closing deals directly with presidents, ministers, and CEOs. Between 2011 and 2016, working across Spain, the UK, and the USA, I closed over 60 contracts totaling $6.5M, negotiating each in under 40 minutes. Along the way I introduced the Bulgari hotel amenity line into Brazil, a deal worth $1 million.

I also produced global investor guides in partnership with governments and the private sector, published in USA Today and The Globe and Mail. Among them, I conceptualized and published the first ever report to promote Peru in Canada at a massive scale, securing sponsorship from Barrick Gold and Air Canada.

From 2016 I moved into government representation, scaling operations across Latin America and eventually managing 11 government mandates simultaneously. I represented the commercial interests of North American, European, and Asian governments entering Latin American markets, coordinated a $95M government-to-government project for the Lima 2019 Pan American Games, and served as the first official representative of the State of Georgia in Peru. In 2019 and 2020 the Government of Hong Kong recognized my work with two consecutive Best Practice Awards for exceptional investment promotion services.

When COVID hit I saw where things were going. I pivoted early into biosecurity and decontamination, generating $1.1M in international defense sector revenue. I then co-founded BioSans LLC, opening doors at the Department of Defense, NASA, USDA, and HHS, and building a pipeline of 500+ investors and strategic partners.

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash flow is reality.

Today my focus is on AI and financial modeling — the sharpest tools available to solve the one thing most businesses never see coming: cash flow.
