Philosophy

  • “That's life: you get hit, you fall, you get back up, you get sad, you move forward, you stumble again, you almost fall but don't, you keep walking, you run.”
  • “The Yucatech Festival isn't a business, not even close - it's actually cost me money. I don't know if I'll ever capitalize on it, and honestly, I don't care.”

Formative years

  • “I never graduated from ITAM. I got bored, I was already doing really well in my career. I should have studied Physics from the start, but that's life.”

Business

  • “People, Process, Product. That's what helped me improve a lot.”
  • “The hardest part of selling cloud services in 2014 wasn't convincing people it was secure - it was giving away the margin to Amazon when I could've kept it for myself.”
  • “I recommended someone who was technically skilled but a total idiot for everything else for a management position. I should've taken it myself. EpicFail.”
  • “The most common mistake of tech leaders in Latin America: they copy US models without adapting them to the regional context.”

Quick ones

  • “Why Merida? If you find out, let me know.”
  • “I drink between 4 and 10 cups of coffee a day. How about you? Is that bad? That's just me.”
  • “Since everything is orange, I now have a lot of orange shirts and sneakers. I don't pay attention to fashion - I dress just so I'm not naked.”
  • “I invest in soccer academies in the United States. I don't like soccer at all.”
  • “I'm not good at giving advice — it turns into a class that doesn't lead anywhere. Don't ask me for advice.”
  • “If I could erase the Star Wars sequels (episodes 7, 8, and 9) and have more Ahsoka content instead, it would be better.”
  • “I can go months without seeing myself in the mirror. With video calls, I've been seeing myself more often lately.”
  • “I blew my first money, wasted it, traveled. I have no idea where it went. Oops.”
  • “Being included in "World's Top 50 Leaders to follow" makes no difference to me. It's not like I'm getting paid or anything, haha.”
  • “I distrust people who don't drink coffee, don't you?”
  • “The most "Kilowatto" thing I did this year? I don't know, I'll tell you when I'm dead.”
