OUR

STORY

Meet the founders: Juan, Juliana, and John—a Mexican, a Brazilian, and a Colombian with over 30 years of experience in leadership, partnerships, business growth, and shaking things up. We've been in the rooms where decisions are made—and we've also been on the outside, knocking (or kicking) down the door. We know what it’s like to be underestimated, but we also know how to change the game.

We’ve built businesses, advised global organizations, and influenced policies and executive leaders. We've been recognized, sought after, and invited to lead major conversations. Now, we’re bringing that power to YOU.

OUR STORY

PODER ISN’T JUST A COMMUNITY

—IT’S A MOVEMENT.

A space where leaders stop waiting for an invitation and start creating their own opportunities. Here, we equip, elevate, and empower those ready to step up and own their impact. If you’ve ever felt overlooked or passed up —guess what? That stops now, even if you’re too busy and an introvert.

This is your time. This is our Collective PODER.

We’ll see you on the inside! 

Meet our Founders 

At The PODER Collective, we wake up every day fueled by our mission—to equip professionals with the right skills, the bold mindset, and the unstoppable drive to create lasting impact. We don’t just build leaders; we build a movement. A movement that shatters barriers, opens doors, and forges an unbreakable network of like-minded trailblazers. Together, we provide each other with access, opportunities, and the power to turn ambition into legacy.
