Yonel’s story is one of relentless pursuit of excellence, from his academic achievements to his rise as a prominent figure in the world of finance and real estate.

Yonel’s journey began with a deep dedication to education. He earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, where he cultivated a passion for finance and strategy. His academic path led him to Harvard University, where he further developed his expertise in navigating complex economic landscapes. These formative years at two of the world’s most prestigious institutions not only shaped his intellect but also instilled in him the foundational skills needed for a remarkable career.

With a strong foundation in finance and a vision for innovation, Yonel co-founded Lakeport Capital, where he now serves as CEO. Lakeport Capital specializes in alternative investments, offering tailored financial solutions that align with the evolving needs of investors.

This global perspective has been a cornerstone of his career, allowing him to navigate diverse markets and foster connections that drive his ventures forward.

His career in real estate began with a focus on bridge lending, providing short-term loans to developers. This niche allowed him to invest in projects that others might have overlooked, offering financing solutions that bridged the gap between property acquisition and long-term financing. Yonel’s ability to identify and seize unique opportunities also led him to the field of litigation finance, where his meticulous due diligence and deep understanding of the legal landscape enabled him to excel in a competitive space.

Currently, he is exploring new opportunities in the tech and fintech sectors, particularly at the intersection of real estate and technology. His projects include investments in tech startups focused on real estate automation, blockchain technology, and AI-driven solutions. Yonel firmly believes that technology will play a significant role in shaping the future of the real estate and finance industries.

Beyond his professional ventures, Yonel remains an active voice in the community. He mentors aspiring entrepreneurs and shares his journey with those looking to follow in his footsteps.
