At EVG, I serve as the bridge between angel investors and entrepreneurs, driving our mission to accelerate event entrepreneurship by fostering a collaborative community that values giving back above all else." – Marilú Páez
With over 17 years of experience in international organizations such as Cemex and British American Tobacco, I’ve developed a deep strategic acumen and a proven track record in driving business growth. My career spans roles from selling booths and managing trade shows to leading operations in tech and FinTech sectors. As the former Country Head at Afluenta and Managing Director for Intuit Mexico, I’ve successfully translated long-term visions into actionable, frugal strategies that deliver outstanding results.
