A moment of gratitude at the Fintech Summit San José

There are moments that make you look back and be grateful for everything that happened to get you there.

And on August 18th, in Costa Rica, I had one of those moments.

I had the honor of participating in the Fintech Summit San José doing something I enjoy very much: talking about influencer marketing.

And I experienced it with a very special feeling.

The opportunity to bring this conversation to an industry that still has so much potential to develop.

And while I was there, sharing cases, learnings, and everything we built over these years, I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had to happen for that moment to be possible.

Campaigns. Clients. Learnings. Mistakes.

Cases that went well. Others that forced us to learn, improve, and try again.

And, above all, people.

My team.

Because when someone is on a stage, it's easy to think that the achievement is individual.

But it almost never is.

Everything I was able to share that day was possible thanks to many people who were building this long before there was a stage, a microphone, or a presentation.

People who worked with me day by day, who supported me in difficult moments, who faced challenges with me, and who also pushed me to grow.

I'm not listing them because the post would be endless, but you know who you are. Thank you so much!

That's why I'm leaving Costa Rica super happy and grateful.

How beautiful when a moment that seems yours reminds you that you were never alone.

Thank you to ASOCOMI, Bernardo Arce, and Carlos Lira for opening this space, and to the entire RealUp team for being part of this journey.

Hopefully this was the first of many conversations.
