Jorge Suarez – Founder
Jorge Suarez is the founder of Nauqali Strategies LLC. He founded Nauqali as the next step in an 18-year career in the financial world spanning banking, operations, and investment management, with a particular focus on emerging markets, fixed income, and macroeconomics.
Jorge’s expertise is in synthesizing developments in domestic and international politics, macroeconomics, and financial markets to develop views, scenarios, and strategies for decisionmakers. He launched Nauqali out of a desire to partner with a broader set of clients on a wider range of issues arising from a fragmenting global order.
Before founding Nauqali, Jorge served most recently on the investment team at Aureana Capital Management, where he focused on sovereign credit in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. Prior experience includes advising public and private equity funds active in emerging and frontier markets as well as leading operations for a global boutique investment firm.
Jorge’s academic background in international affairs includes a Master of Science in Foreign Service from the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and a Bachelor of Science in Diplomacy and International Relations from Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ. He is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and has formally studied Arabic, Japanese, Russian, and Swahili. Jorge loves to learn and is never too far from a stack of books.
