LUIS MIGUEL MATEUS
Founder &
Managing Director
Born just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, I grew up in a world marked by ideological conflict. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by maps and the stories each country holds. I spent hours exploring geopolitics in the news: the Balkans, Chechnya, the Gulf War, Rwanda, the Oslo Accords. Early on, I confirmed my vocation: understanding how politics, economics, and diplomacy intersect.
I studied Finance and International Relations in Colombia and later completed a master’s degree in Global Studies in Sweden. Throughout my life, I have developed a global perspective, which I have applied for more than 15 years at the intersection of diplomacy, politics, and economics. I have represented governments, led international cooperation projects, and mobilized resources for innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability initiatives.
Among my achievements, I highlight contributing to Colombia’s support for more than 70% of Australian candidacies in international forums; a 134% increase in student mobility between Australia and Colombia; the structuring of programs that helped scale hundreds of startups and SMEs; and social projects that benefited more than 100,000 people across Latin America.
Today, as a consultant, I put this experience at the service of startups and SMEs that need to navigate complex environments with clarity and a global vision. Trilingual (Spanish, English, and Portuguese), I combine political-economic analysis, public policy design, and strategic relationship-building to transform uncertainty into informed decisions and international growth.
