Mike Packer serves as QED's Head of LatAm, positioning the firm as a fintech specialist in Latin America rather than a generalist global investor, and acts as a bridge between US capital and local founders by translating how top-tier global funds think about risk and returns to the realities of building in Brazil, Mexico, and broader LatAm. He brings a Capital One operator background in credit and data-driven consumer finance to his investment approach, with deep conviction in AI-driven financial services platforms that can underwrite risk and personalize financial products at scale, while frequently serving as a market educator who breaks down unit economics and regulatory realities for the LatAm fintech ecosystem.
