Carolina Pineda has a BS in industrial engineering and an MBA from MIT. Although she became a member of NextGen through her husband’s family business, Carolina comes from an entrepreneurial family as well.

Months after receiving her MIT diploma, Carolina worked as buyer in the department store conglomerate Falabella, before being promoted to e-commerce Manager in charge of 5 business segments in the company.  

Juan Pablo got his bachelor's degree in International Affairs at The George Washington University and his MBA with focus in entrepreneurship from Babson College. He is part of the second generation of Metaza (FBN member) and has worked in the real estate industry for more than 10 years. 

Carolina and Juan Pablo, after realizing the lack of financial literacy in Latin America and witnessing the power that financial education has over our future, co-founded MPF. 

MPF is a company that wants to combine financial education with advisory and financial products to help support people’s life goals, such as saving for retirement, using debt responsibly, running a business and reaching financial freedom.

Juggling between being parents of three kids under 4 years old and running a business of 25 employers, Carolina and Juan Pablo strive to transform people’s lives through financial education.
