Marcelo partners with the CTO to drive and be responsible for the technical delivery and work with their team on strategy and execution.

Marcelo is an entrepreneur, open-source aficionado, meetup organizer, and a believer that when in a position to have received so much, the gift at this point is to give back. Marcelo believes that building the product right and building the right product are two different things. Marcelo’s first technical startup career started in 2007 during the financial crash. He started Up-Mobile along with two founders and successfully sold the company to a Mexican firm. Later on, Marcelo worked on different startups in the early stage, expansion phase, and also started his own. He earned a bachelor of Computer Science degree from Florida International University (FIU), and an executive MBA from the University of Miami (UM).
