I’m a seasoned entrepreneur who enjoys the challenges and excitement of start-up companies. Armed with a Master of Science in Finance and experience in corporate finance and investment banking, I spent the past 10 years tackling a number of ventures with a focus on business development and strategy. Through the years, I’ve often sought guidance from experts and advisors. Networking is great yet finding the right person willing to help can prove problematic. That's why I started a social experiment - www.MeetAdvisor.com. Here, approved advisors offer entrepreneurs advice on everything from internet marketing to public relations. Without noise or spam, the platform provides advisors a public profile on which entrepreneurs review their helpful input.

I built a billion dollar publicly-traded retail company in Asia in 7 years. I was also the CFO of One Laptop per Child, one of the largest social entrepreneurship ventures in the world. Author: Billion Dollar Company: An entrepreneur's guide to business models for high growth companies. I have done 15+ joint ventures, licenses and partnerships in both Asia and Latin America. I teach at Florida International University and have taught at MIT Sloan School. Speak Spanish.
