Martín Salassa Email & Phone Number

For as long as I can remember, I have felt a powerful attraction to design in all its forms. My early school notebooks were filled with doodles attempting to represent the ideas that sprung to mind.While studying Architecture and Urban Planning, I discovered that everything I did followed my own creative processes. This curiosity led me to further my education in Graphic, Industrial, and Service Design.Today, I can proudly say that this curiosity is my main professional differentiator: I solve problems by prioritizing the needs of users/clients. I observe with empathy how people interact with their environments and use a practical approach to create innovative solutions.Passionate about technology and with a clear purpose to generate positive impact, I have built and scaled three startups from the ground up. The most recent, which was sold, processed over USD 10 million and expanded its operations to five countries, among other achievements.The thrill of creating something new, the sleepless nights, and the satisfaction when everything falls into place are priceless. I have worked with diverse teams, adapted to changing markets, and learned to make decisions under pressure. I have no problem “rolling up my sleeves” and doing whatever it takes to get the job done.As a founder of several startups, I have had to wear many hats: from developing business models and defining marketing strategies to pitching and presenting to clients, stakeholders, and investors. I have learned to thrive in chaos, navigate uncertainty, and stay focused on the main goal.Leading business processes, I have lived in Chile and Mexico, gaining a regional perspective of Latin America. I consider myself a collaborator who sees the world differently, willing to take risks to make things work better.Outside of work, I spend quality time with my family and stay active. I train six days a week and compete in swimming. I firmly believe that sports teach values analogous to the business world, such as discipline, perseverance, and humility. I also mentor in entrepreneurial development communities like Start-Up Chile and Emprelatam, supporting young founders in their projects.I am always open to discussing the next opportunity to do something great. Whether you are looking for a partner for a new project, a collaborator to accelerate your company’s growth, or just to talk about entrepreneurship and business, feel free to email me or schedule a meeting. I would be delighted to connect.
