Governance & Background

A story of corporate value
and consistency in the Southern Cone

The core value a strategic consultant brings to a foreign investment portfolio is a contingency-free track record. I have accumulated over 15 years of uninterrupted experience in the Southern Cone, having structured commercial and capital operations for investors from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, the United States, Europe and Asia with an active presence in Paraguay.

My experience did not begin in isolation within the real estate sector; it stems from a solid background in the development and consolidation of corporate brands, as well as in leading technology and consulting projects across South America. This 360-degree perspective allows me to analyse assets and land in Paraguay not only by their nominal value, but as strategic commercial and fiscal vehicles within a legal ecosystem.

This track record is reflected today in an ecosystem of proprietary projects and direct collaborations that back every stage of my career with concrete facts. If you would like to learn more about my professional background and the projects I have driven in the region, you can follow the link.

What you need to know
before investing in Paraguay

01
Can I buy property in Paraguay without being a resident? Yes. The law guarantees absolute equality of rights for investments of national or foreign origin, with no residency requirement or local partner needed to acquire, register and operate real estate assets.
