Driven by a passion for entrepreneurship, I dedicate some of my time as a pro bono mentor and speaker for Empresarios con Impacto, a leading community for business owners in Argentina. This is a way for me to give back, translating my 20+ years of experience in technology, startups, and management into practical guidance that helps business owners scale their companies and achieve their vision.

The Challenge
Many small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in Argentina face significant hurdles in scaling their businesses. They often lack access to strategic guidance, modern technological tools, and effective management methodologies. This can lead to operational bottlenecks, stalled growth, and an inability to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace.
Empresarios con Impacto, a dedicated community by the PROEM Foundation, was created to address this gap by connecting company founders between each other seeking to professionalize their operations and achieve sustainable growth.
The Solution
As a volunteer contributor to this community, my role is to empower business owners by demystifying technology and modern management. My involvement is multifaceted:
- Expert Talks: I design and deliver engaging talks on crucial topics for today's business landscape, including Software, Technology Integration, AI, Leadership, Productivity, and Time Management. The goal is to provide practical, low-bureaucracy solutions that can be implemented immediately.
- Personalized Mentorship: I offer one-on-one coaching sessions to entrepreneurs within the community. In these confidential meetings, we dive deep into their specific challenges, from optimizing workflows and adopting new software to refining leadership skills and long-term strategic planning.
- Fostering Innovation: By sharing over 20 years of experience in software development, startup scaling, and product management, I help businessmen cultivate a mindset of continuous improvement and innovation, enabling them to turn complex problems into growth opportunities.
This work is performed pro bono, driven by a personal passion for helping entrepreneurs succeed and strengthening the local business ecosystem.
The Impact
Through this collaboration, I've had the privilege of helping many business owners transform their operations and leadership approach. While the success of each entrepreneur is their own, the feedback highlights several key outcomes:
- Increased Efficiency: Business owners have successfully implemented tools and strategies that save time, reduce costs, and streamline their daily operations.
- Enhanced Strategic Clarity: The mentorship sessions have provided leaders with the confidence and clarity needed to make critical decisions, professionalize their teams, and design scalable business structures.
- Empowered Leadership: By equipping them with new skills and perspectives, entrepreneurs feel less overwhelmed and more capable of leading their companies to the next level.
For me, It's incredibly rewarding to contribute to a community that is actively fostering a stronger, more resilient culture of business in my country.
