A Few Words
About Me
Camilo's Journey: From Colombia to New York
My Story: From Curiosity to Career
From Small Town to Global Stage
Hi there! I’m Juan Camilo Martinez Benavides. My adventure started in a small Colombian town, filled with dreams and a love for learning. Whether it was dance, music, or sports, I was all in, eager to see what the world had to offer. This passion for discovery led me to study petroleum engineering at the Universidad Industrial de Santander, a place I’m proud to call my alma mater. Engineering was cool and all, filled with challenges that kept me on my toes, but what really got me hooked was the world of business. It’s like a puzzle, always changing, always something new to solve. And what better place to dive into that world than New York? So, here I am, in the heart of business, ready to make my mark.
What I’m Up To: Data, Business, and Helping Companies Grow
Now in New York, I’m blending my engineering skills with business analytics to dive into the future of private equity.
Big Data is king.
After moving to New York to brush up on my English (because let’s face it, it’s the business world’s go-to language), I fell head over heels for this bustling city. It didn’t take long for me to find my next big goal: a master’s degree in Business Analytics at the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College. Why? Because the world’s going digital, and data is king. It’s like the new oil, powering decisions and innovations. I’m especially jazzed about private equity. It’s got everything I love: the challenge of finding companies with potential and helping them shoot for the stars, all backed up by hard data.
Why I Share What I Know: Making a Difference
Beyond business, I’m all about sharing knowledge, from smart money moves to life’s big questions, aiming to light up others' lives.
“Cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.” — Warren Buffett
In this knowledge-driven age, I am committed to not just absorbing information but sharing it widely. My passion extends beyond the confines of business and analytics; I am deeply invested in creating content that enlightens others about smart money management, wealth creation, and the latest technological trends. Moreover, I recognize the power of philosophy and motivation in uplifting and guiding individuals through life’s myriad challenges. Through videos and content creation, I aim to disseminate valuable insights and inspire positive change, thereby contributing to a more informed, motivated, and prosperous society.
