Summary
Francisco De Villalobos is a product-and-ops leader with 11 years of hands-on experience scaling mobility, ride-hailing and delivery businesses across LATAM, currently leading regional launches for Yango from San Francisco. A former coder and robotics engineer with an MSE in Robotics from UPenn, he blends technical fluency (from UAV navigation and ROS to industrial automation) with practical launch playbooks that build teams, processes and automations for hypergrowth. He’s delivered operational programs at Uber, Rappi and Swvl—taking initiatives from zero to hundreds of daily routes and participating in high-stakes moments like a NASDAQ IPO. Known for structuring healthy scale rather than vanity growth, he pairs deep systems thinking with on-the-ground execution across product, ops and customer service.
