A CFA charterholder with degrees in Business and Economics from the University of Virginia and a Master’s in Economics from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Jose blends analytical depth with a grounded, real-world perspective on how value is created—and misunderstood—in public markets.

Jose’s mission is to help investors and business leaders alike cut through complexity and rethink the assumptions behind how money grows over time.
