Top SchoolMartin De Los Santos is an experienced finance and strategy executive who has steered Mercado Libre’s financial transformation since joining its board in 2008 and now serves as CFO, overseeing financial strategy for a platform serving over 100 million users. He built Mercado Crédito from a startup pilot into a core regional fintech business and has deep expertise in scaling credit, treasury, M&A, investor relations, and venture investments.
