About

Senior executive with domestic and regional C-level experience across start-up and growth environments, with a background in real estate development and operating platforms, including family-owned and closely held businesses. My current focus is on supporting U.S.-based and other international investors and strategic operators evaluating or entering Costa Rica, acting as an independent local sponsor around governance design, execution discipline, and post-transaction oversight. I operate at the intersection of capital, local operating teams, and professional advisors, helping ensure that governance structures and economic intent hold once transactions close. My approach is pragmatic and hands-on, informed by board-level experience, capital structuring, and the realities of working with founder-led and family-controlled organizations. I work independently from brokers, developers, and professional service firms, and typically engage on a retainer basis.
