Bio

Cristina Almeida decided in her late teens that longevity could be achieved by pursuing multiple careers.  When she graduated with two postgraduate degrees in Engineering from Stanford University, she already had been a professional musician, as well as a teaching assistant and researcher in engineering for several years.

After a career as a consultant in mathematical modeling and high-tech strategic planning for governments worldwide, Cristina became an successful investment banker in New York and later in São Paulo, Brazil. She worked in different aspects of finance for close to 25 years, including mergers and acquisitions, capital market transactions, and fund management in many emerging market countries. 

Cristina founded Convex B Works from the belief that technology is one of the pillars of wholesale positive transformation of human lives, with the goal of leveraging its potential to create a positive impact in solving larger problems in the emerging world.
