Javier Ríos

I’m a Colombian professional based in New York with experience in strategy, business development, international markets and entrepreneurship.

My career has taken me from aviation and corporate strategy to building businesses of my own and, more recently, developing partnerships and opportunities between the U.S. and Colombia.

I’m also building Origen, a project inspired by my interest in personal growth, community, work, identity and the choices that shape the way we live.

About Me

I’ve built my career across different industries, countries and types of organizations.

I started in aviation with LATAM Airlines, working in Colombia and Chile on strategy and regional projects. Later, I moved into entrepreneurship, building and managing businesses of my own before completing my MBA at Hult International Business School.

Today, I’m based in New York and work with ProColombia, where I focus on the U.S. market, developing partnerships and creating business opportunities for Colombia.

Along the way, I’ve become especially interested in projects where strategy, business development and international markets come together.

What I Do

Strategy & Business Development
I work on identifying new opportunities, developing business initiatives and finding practical ways to move them forward.

Partnerships
A large part of my work has involved building relationships with companies and organizations, finding common interests and turning those conversations into partnerships and projects.

International Markets
I’ve worked across different countries and markets throughout my career, with experience in Latin America, the U.S. and international business environments.

Entrepreneurship
I’ve built and managed businesses of my own, giving me experience beyond the corporate side of business, from developing an idea to dealing with the realities of running it.
