For over 25 years, Jaco has been the legal and regulatory architect behind Mercado Libre (NASDAQ: MELI), LatAm's most consequential technology company. Along the way, he has become one of the most respected — and most quietly influential — voices in Latin American technology, with a network and institutional memory that few in the region can match. He is currently Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Legal and Public Affairs at MeLi, and Secretary of the Board. He joined as the company's first lawyer in 1999, when Mercado Libre was three people in a garage, and has since built a global legal and public policy team of 150+ across six countries, overseeing the company's IPO, US$880M convertible note issuance, and legal operations across 18+ Latin American markets. President of the Asociación Latinoamericana de Internet (ALAI) and recognized on the Legal 500 GC Powerlist and Chambers Global, Jaco holds a law degree from the Universidad Nacional de Tucuman, the profile you want in the room when a portfolio company hits the moment governance, regulation, or public markets get real.
