More recently, she took on the role as Head of innovative Finance at New Ventures, a leading impact investing and venture capital firm in Mexico, where she built out a team to support European and U.S. investors looking to deploy their capital more effectively in LatAm through sourcing, due diligence, outsourced investment management, and investment mechanism design.
