This extensive network is not just a testament to our reach but also a valuable asset for potential growth & collaboration.
My entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in a rich family history of overcoming adversity & seizing opportunities. My great grandfather, an immigrant from Spain, lost an eye to glaucoma at 18 but didn't let this setback deter him. Starting as a sewing machine salesman in the early 1900s, his tenacity & skill led him to establish the world's largest private textile company. This success was a stepping stone to the hospitality industry during 1960s, where my family created the Emporio Hotels chain in Mexico. Later, our portfolio expanded to over 20 big hotels including renowned franchises like Marriott, JW Marriott, Hyatt, the first Renaissance in Mexico, Thompson, & many more spanning across Mexico, Spain, & the U.S. This journey of growth didn't stop at hotels; our business ventures extended to real estate, lucrative restaurant chains, office buildings, & key centric high-prestige real state locations, such as where the official Real Madrid & Apple store are in Gran Via Madrid β showcasing a versatile & successful entrepreneurial footprint.
Despite the allure of joining my family's private multi-billion-dollar company, I chose a different path. I relocated to an amazing country, the United States, to forge my own journey, driven by a passion for purposeful software development. Embracing challenges head-on, I dedicate myself to my startups, working tirelessly from the early hours every day, waking up at 4am β including weekends. This journey & commitment have borne fruit, validating my belief that purpose, faith, perseverance, & boldness are the cornerstones of success.
