Grew up in Venezuela during hyperinflation and institutional collapse. That lived experience of broken money systems drives everything. Mantra: 'The world needs more financial innovation and less financial engineering.' Backs 'rebels' who challenge incumbent financial institutions. Shifting thesis from last decade ('giving people access to money') to this decade ('contextual money' — tailoring financial services using data, AI, and personalized interfaces). Views Ribbit as a startup that deploys capital, not a traditional VC firm. Has said that every generation reinvents financial services and that the best fintech companies don't just digitize existing services — they create entirely new financial behaviors. Deeply global in orientation — has backed companies across the US, Brazil, Mexico, India, UK, Canada, and more.
