The Vacation He Couldn’t Return Home From: A Venezuelan CEO’s Inspiring Journey to Growth Hacking Success

Brains Byte Back

In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we’re proud to kick off Latin Heritage Month and recognize the achievements of those in the community. Today, we’re joined by Gerardo Sandoval, CEO and founder of Facill Cloud. Gerardo’s inspiring journey takes us from his early days in Venezuela, where he launched his first tech startup at just 16— a computer lab where recognized the value of empowering his community with computer skills. A small venture that gave him the skills leading up to his present-day success in creating a Miami-based private cloud solutions company.He shares a personal story about a family vacation he never returned home from, which obliged him to leave a successful web hosting company behind. This story reflects the struggles of many Venezuelans forced to leave their homes, not by choice. However, that didn’t deter him from being a driving force in both the Latino and tech communities.

To date, Gerardo has founded several startups with clients in more than 20 countries and is recognized as one of the main Hispanic influencers in the world of Growth Hacking. He shares how he uses this combination of data science, digital marketing and other elements to create bridges between what companies want and what customers desire.
