A successful entrepreneur with solid international experience, he has built his career in the real estate and financial sectors, coming from a family of builders. At just 22 years old, he founded his first company, which he later developed to obtain the qualification to participate in public tenders without value limits. In the 1990s, he expanded his activities to Uruguay and Argentina with major real estate projects, including a luxury hotel with a casino in Punta del Este and the conversion of a Daimler-Chrysler plant in Córdoba. In 2004, he moved to Miami, diversifying his investments in real estate, private equity, and aesthetic surgery. Since 2010, he has also been active in Europe and Italy with real estate development projects. More recently, he has broadened his scope to the food industry, taking on top executive roles in companies within the sector.
