Nicolas Szekazy, Former CFO at MercadoLibre, Joins Our Board

DateWednesday, October 26, 2011 at 6:45PM

 

A big welcome aboard to our newest Open English Board Member, Nicolas Szekasy. As the former CFO of MercadoLibre, (MELI), Nicolas helped build the company from the ground up…including leading its successful 2007 IPO.

Not familiar with MercadoLibre?

This is Latin America's #1 e-commerce site and ebay’s Latin American partner. The company had a $300 million IPO in 2007 and is currently valued at over $2.5 billion.

With  MercadoLibre’s success under his belt, Nicolas has now moved on cofound Kaszek Ventures together with MELI’s former COO Hernan Kazah. Their newly minted venture capital firm is now on the look-out for the next LatAm success story. 

Together with an investment from Kaszek, Nicolas comes to join our board where his know-how and talent will surely be a huge value-add for Open English as we continue our growth in the region.
