During his professional career, Fernando has designed and implemented impact assessment models for programs in Guatemala and Honduras. Also, he has lead research for an inclusion financing network iwht a global reach of over 80 million clients, helping to publish one or two whitepapers and webinars along the way.

You can find him now and then singing and playing guitar in restaurants and bars in Panajachel or Xela.
