Mateo Mazal

Mateo was born in Mexico City and grew up in Monterrey where he studied. He holds a BA in Industrial Engineering with a minor in Systems from ITESM and an MBA from IPADE Business School.

Learning is a tremendous passion for Mateo. He has worked in education for 14 years, transitioning into the sector as a University Rector at Universidad del Valle de Mexico campus Monterrey from a previous career as an investment banker. In 2012 he was promoted to COO for UVM. He was responsible for managing all operations and drove the expansion and growth of the group both organically through acquisitions as well as through focusing on academic quality and student outcomes. He moved away from education for two years, working as COO for City Express, an international hotel company, where he learned about service as a pilar for success not only for customers, but also for his team. However, the draw of the education sector was too strong and he rejoined UVM as VP of admissions and operations for 2 years before moving to ISP in March 2022.
