Brian is a serial entrepreneur driven by growth, innovation, efficiency, and empowering others. Whether it's working with a startup, running a non-profit, consulting with innovators, or teaching important skills, he finds joy in being active and working with others to bring about positive change. Solving problems and disrupting the status quo are where Brian naturally gravitates.
Brian has started and been a part of a number of companies/organizations with varying degrees of success (including an exit), and consulted for dozens more. Learning from failures and difficult situations teach more than any class or seminar could ever hope to.
Working in the crowdfunding, blockchain, and hardware industries Brian has the unique opportunity to help businesses new and old succeed in an ever changing world and is exposed to many ideas and opportunities that can fuel growth and impact. He now uses his experience and talents to help companies and investment come to Puerto Rico, as well as grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem on the island.
