Juan Abadi
GM of B2B @ ARQ
Juan's entire career threads through finance -- from PE at Linzor to VC at Kaszek to operating at ARQ. He understands financial markets, products, and institutions from multiple vantage points.
Colleagues specifically describe him as 'an outperformer with a high sense of humility.' Juan delivers exceptional results while maintaining approachability and genuine modesty.
Despite not having prior PE experience, Juan 'quickly developed strong business acumen' and could rapidly 'capture the highlights of any business model and make critical assessment of risks and opportunities.'
Juan deliberately moved from investing (Kaszek) to operating (ARQ), gaining perspectives from both sides of the startup table. He also teaches and co-founded an EdTech marketplace as a student.
Praised for 'his facility to build rapport with stakeholders at various levels,' Juan connects naturally with everyone from junior analysts to board members. This cross-level relationship building is core to his effectiveness.
His causes include Education and Poverty Alleviation. From co-founding tutorideal.com to working at financial platforms serving underserved markets, Juan values making financial services and education more accessible.
