Piero Coen
Co-Founder & CEO at Osmo
Scaling Osmo to provide financial tools for the unbanked in Central America through Bitcoin and stablecoin integration.
Intro
I'm Piero Coen, the Co-Founder and CEO of Osmo. My career has been defined by a transition from corporate analysis at firms like Capco and Accenture to building the fintech infrastructure that Central America needs. Currently, I'm focused on democratizing financial access through Osmo, where we've successfully launched the OSMO card and reached the top of the iOS finance charts in Guatemala. I am deeply passionate about the idea that regional problems require local solutions, and I spend a lot of my time advocating for the LATAM startup ecosystem and the practical use of stablecoins and Bitcoin. I’m always looking to connect with investors and partners who see the immense potential in Latin America and want to help us build cleaner, more cooperative financial systems. Whether it's discussing fintech strategy or the future of education in our region, I'm always open to meaningful collaboration.
