José Mario Ávila
CEO of Propi
I'm a strategist with deep experience in M&A, startup growth, and venture building. I began my career at EY, later joined Hugo as its first executive, and led its capital markets team, securing over $40M in funding. I founded hugoVentures, delivering strong investment returns, and led Hugo’s $150M acquisition by Delivery Hero.
Today, I’m the CEO of Propi, where we’re building Latin America’s leading PropTech platform by transforming how people rent, buy, and invest in real estate. I’ve been recognized as a Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, a Latitud Fellow, part of PropTech REACH, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 (2024) honoree.
