Roots & Perspective
I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, in a family that has built businesses for more than a century. From an early
age I learned that business is stewardship: discipline creates freedom, and success should elevate others. That conviction
guides how I build companies, serve customers, and partner with investors.
Today I am pursuing my MBA at the Kellogg School of Management. I serve as Co-Director of the Kellogg Family Business
Organization, am a Zell Fellow, and represent my class on the Honor Code Committee. I am preparing for my next chapter:
to keep building through entrepreneurship and, eventually, thoughtful acquisitions that connect heritage with innovation.
My focus sits at the intersection of technology, health, finance, and food—markets that shape everyday life and reward
builders who pair systems thinking with empathy.
Values I Operate By
- Integrity: do what is right, not what is convenient.
- Discipline: consistent systems create results.
- Excellence: build things that endure with craftsmanship.
- Purpose: business must deliver financial and human value.
- Faith: gratitude and humility are daily practices.

Philosophy & Rhythm
Building well is my way of showing gratitude. Every day I practice prayer, learning, and focus to stay grounded while operating
companies and supporting founders.
Outside of work I spend time with my wife Macarena, play soccer or tennis, or enjoy a good beer with friends while thinking about
the next frontier.
Daily Systems
Morning rhythm: prayer, gratitude, reading, and writing a short “focus note.” Weekly rhythm: coaching Neuforce teams, founder calls, and partner check-ins.
Current Focus
- Building Neuforce into a leading AI integration and product company.
- Exploring long-term acquisition opportunities, getting to know more about the community and model.
- Deepening my MBA journey at Kellogg with emphasis on finance, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Investing Thesis
I invest through a family-backed lens that blends patient capital with disciplined operating playbooks. The through-line: create durable value by modernizing legacy sectors with technology, design, and stewardship.

Updates for Mentors & Investors
North Star Focus
Neuforce Growth Goals
Continue to grow and validate Neuforce with a clear scorecard.
- Finish the first year with 10+ clients and more than $300K in revenue.
- Narrow delivery to the repeatable AI automations that can evolve into standalone products.
- Use every engagement to learn how mid-market operators adopt AI when they do not know where to begin.
Product & Market Insight
We see meaningful upside in launching products for the massive segment that needs AI yet lacks a roadmap. Each deployment informs the features, pricing, and positioning for those offerings.
Next step: formalize two product blueprints and begin lightweight pilots while keeping service delivery disciplined.

Capital & Partner Strategy
Strategic Investor Mandate
Seeking a single strategic investor to complement the mostly self-funded model between Aníbal and myself.
- Must understand the value of integrating AI inside companies and help us de-risk cash flow.
- Believes we can become one of the most important companies of the next decade as we learn, validate, and launch products.
- Brings relationships that accelerate growth without diluting our disciplined operating cadence.
ETA & Acquisition Exploration
Building relationships in the ETA ecosystem to identify a company aligned with Arancia. This is a deliberate, parallel search—not a rushed mandate.
Focus: define an acquisition profile, meet searchers and operators, and map the capital stack that lets the family act as a strategic investor when the right opportunity surfaces.
