Always wanting to become an entrepreneur, Cristian saw an opportunity when presented with an alternative to funding a startup, entrepreneurship through acquisition. Today, Cristian is Verbena Capital’s Managing Director and leads the fund’s efforts to find, acquire and operate an already established business.
Prior to Verbena Capital, he spent 13 years in the chemicals and O&G industries where he learned how to lead multi-disciplined and multi-cultural teams. Most of that learning came from managing projects in different countries. He has also been invited to speak at international Think Tanks. Cristian holds an MBA from the University of Bradford and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico.
In this episode, Cristian talks about making a shift from engineering to entrepreneurship, developing new skills during quarantine, and the legacy of doing impactful work.
