Risk and Bold Entrepreneurship with Javier Ramírez Lugo, Founder of Cuota

16 years ago, Javier Ramírez Lugo—a native of Puerto Rico—flew thousands of miles from his family and everything else he’d ever known to pursue a dual major in finance and entrepreneurship in Boston, Massachusetts. In this episode, he talks about his journey post-college, from working more structured jobs in finance to taking the plunge and moving to California to help build a startup. From Standard & Poor's to Goldman Sachs, Zenefits to WeWork, here's how family influence, risky decisions, and bulls-eye career moves have led Javier to his current role as the founder of Cuota, a B2B sales consultancy partnering with venture-backed companies across the US, Latin America, and Spain.
