Endeavor and Seinco
Thanks in large part to an eMBA project and local mentors, Francisco revolutionized his business model, shifting the entire business from a consulting approach to a product approach. The new strategy led to significant growth, and Francisco credits much of his recent success to Endeavor. In addition to local mentoring and the Global eMBA program, Francisco was advised by an Ernst & Young Fellow and participated in the Entrepreneur Summit.
Francisco remains an active role model in the Uruguayan network and speaks on behalf of Endeavor at conferences and events.
