Summary
Pepe Akle is a serial founder and seasoned engineering leader with 10 years of focused experience building and scaling product-led technology organizations across Latin America and the United States. He has launched engineering hubs and market entries from scratch—most notably leading Nubank’s Mexico engineering organization and co-founding ride-hailing and consumer brands that ended in acquisition and multi-year operations. Equally comfortable in hands-on engineering and strategic roles, Pepe has led mobile, backend, ML and customer-facing platforms while recruiting and shaping cross-functional teams and high-performance culture. A pragmatic hustler with sales and customer orientation, he blends product instinct with technical depth to create self-sustaining businesses. An alum of Y Combinator S21 and Tecnológico de Monterrey, he often pairs rapid experimentation (conversational agents, smart contracts, prediction models) with disciplined operational practices.
