Latin America & Caribbean Contributors - Culture & Capital

Four years ago I left New York and moved to Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic — without knowing a single soul. Most people thought I was taking a vacation. I was making a bet. Las Terrenas wasn't on anyone's radar. A lost paradise tucked into the northeast coast of Hispaniola — raw, authentic, unhurried. The kind of place that rewards the people who find it before the world does. I found it. And I stayed. I spent four years earning my place — learning the culture, building real relationships with Dominican entrepreneurs, Latin American creatives, and an international community quietly laying the foundation of something extraordinary. I wasn't studying from a distance. I was inside it. Now the world is finding Las Terrenas. And I'm already at the helm. What I've witnessed here is a microcosm of the larger story unfolding across the Global South — a massive, misunderstood wave of cultural energy, economic momentum, and human potential that the North has barely begun to understand. The gap between these two worlds is enormous. And the people who can bridge it will matter in ways that haven't been written yet. That's why I built Otorongo Holdings this year. And why I launched OTO Intelligence. OTO Intelligence is the bridge I've been living — a newsletter at the intersection of culture, capital, and human potential. Built for operators and thinkers in both hemispheres who are serious about what's coming next. I'm building a contributor network. Looking for experts at the edges of: → The cultural economics reshaping Latin America and the Caribbean → Alternative capital flows moving toward emerging markets → Human development driving a new generation of leaders → Ecosystem building at the margins of conventional business → The convergence of creativity and commerce in the Global South If you work at this intersection — I want to connect. Not to pitch you. To build something with you. 📩 [email redacted] #OTOIntelligence #GlobalSouth #LasTerrenasRD #DominicanRepublic #CultureAndCapital #LatinAmerica #EmergingMarkets #HumanPotential #Entrepreneurship
