This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jorge Sanchez, Senior Investment Officer, based in Lima, Peru.

  • Jorge, why did you join BlueOrchard?

“I’ve had several jobs in the past, and I always felt proud of what I was doing. But one day I started thinking about the impact my work has on society, and I realised how important it is to me that what I do actually makes a positive, real difference in other people’s lives. That’s why, when I saw an opportunity at BlueOrchard, I didn’t think twice.“

  • What do you enjoy most about working at BO?

“I really enjoy working at a company with people from all around the world. It feels a bit like travelling without leaving my city. Plus, I love getting to meet end-clients in person when we do due diligence visits.”

  • What is the best advice you have ever been given?

“Time is the one thing that has no price and can’t be replaced. You can’t save it. You either live it or lose it.”

  • What is the biggest global challenge in your view?

“The biggest challenge is being able to speed up the reduction of CO₂ emissions. Climate change is real, and we’re seeing more and more extreme weather emergencies. In my country, we experience it firsthand with stronger and stronger El Niño events. I believe we can all help make the world a better place if we reduce our carbon footprint and pay attention to what we consume.”

Thank you, Jorge!
