Ramiro Iglesias

He began his professional career in investment banking in New York, where he lived for 10 years and held several senior positions. In his final role in banking, he worked as a derivatives trader on Wall Street, managing a portfolio worth billions. He concluded his time in the US with an MBA at Columbia University, graduating with honours.

He began his entrepreneurial career on returning to Spain, launching his first investment boutique. Before founding Crescenta, he was CEO of the largest venture builder in Southern Europe and Latin America and served on the boards of more than 30 technology companies. He has also sat on the investment committees of several family offices and helped prominent entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals manage their wealth.

While working with high-net-worth clients, he discovered a new calling: helping everyone invest better. He founded Crescenta, a pioneering European Private Equity investment fintech that has achieved several milestones since launch, reaching more than €200 million in assets under management and 4,000 investors in less than two years. As Crescenta’s co-founder, he has received several awards for innovation and entrepreneurship.
