Having watched his city grow for the last 20 years has been an inspiration, and it’s his ambition to contribute to its development, not only business wise but also socially. Bringing funds from institutional investors focused in RED can help generate thousands of jobs and more opportunities for people to have access to a decent home. As cliché as it may sound it has always been his dream to study at MIT, and it´s his desire to share personal aspirations and knowledge with his fellow graduates, with whom he can surely relate in many ways. Apart from his professional life, Carlos enjoys fiction literature, wine tasting and playing golf in his free time.
