Virtual CISO & Security Advisory · Fintech & Crypto · Latin America

I help fintech and crypto companies build security and compliance functions that satisfy regulators and pass audits — without slowing the business down.

Most recently Argentina CISO at Bitso, Latin America's largest crypto exchange, I ran security governance and a portfolio of 60+ concurrent GRC initiatives at exchange scale, with direct, working relationships across Argentine regulators. I bring that same rigor to your team on a fractional basis, with hands-on depth across Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil.

  • Live experience with LatAm fintech & crypto regulation (AR / MX / BR).
  • ISO 27001 & SOC 2 delivery, data-privacy programs, VASP/AML compliance.
