Previously, In 1998 I was a co-founder at Novacash, the first non-banking debit card solution in Argentina and one of the pioneer fintech companies in Latin America. A truly innovative solution where users could pay for online purchases, mobile phone top-ups, money transfers, and send and receive payments. Backed by a mix of Argentine and American Venture Capital partners, the company expanded to several regional markets, opening offices in Brazil, Chile and Argentina. In December 2000, the company signed a sale option with Western Union International, a First Data company. I also founded other companies like Mobile2Biz, Latam's leading mobile solutions provider.
