My parents fled Cuba in the 1960s, seeking freedom, opportunity and the “pursuit of happiness.” Inspired by a book on happiness, my parents named me Felice, which means "happy."

I’ve always aimed to embody happiness and pay it forward, both in life and business. What drew me to Embark is its purpose-driven, people-centric motto: “happy works.” What that translates to in business is putting our people first.

At Embark, we believe that happy is good for business. Producing excellent work is the expectation. But it's how our people go about delivering excellent work that is unlike anything you've ever seen before.

As a 3x CEO of venture-backed companies, investor at 2 VC firms and a board member of the largest development finance organization in the world (i.e. The World Bank), I lead with empathy, build with passion, and evangelize with conviction.

Outside of work, I enjoy working out, listening to Bad Bunny, and spending weekends with my wife and three kids in the Florida keys (our happy place), cherishing every moment together.

I’m excited to bring my talents to Embark, join a purpose-driven team, and spread the good news that “happy works.” We’re just getting started, and I invite you to embark on the journey with us.
