## Overview
The most authoritative record of Uribe comes from his own regulatory filings. SEC Section 16 documents for MELI Kaszek Pioneer Corp, a blank-check company listed on NASDAQ under MEKA, identify him as the firm's Chief Investment Officer in 2021.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1870258/000089924321038035/0000899243-21-038035.txt) His Form 3 reported beneficial ownership of 509,571 Class L ordinary shares, a class that converts into Class A ordinary shares on triggering events before the fifth anniversary of the issuer's initial business combination.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1870258/000089924321038035/0000899243-21-038035.txt) The filing lists his address in Miami, Florida.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1870258/000089924321038035/0000899243-21-038035.txt)
The Kaszek partnership itself rests on thinner ground in the public record. Directory pages (The Org, Equilar, Zonebourse) place him at Kaszek Management SA as Partner from 2023,[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe) • [3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) • [4](https://www.zonebourse.com/insider/ANGEL-URIBE-A053PY/) but no Kaszek team page, press release, or interview in the available record confirms the appointment, describes his mandate, or attributes any Kaszek-era investment to him.
## Education
Sources agree that Uribe graduated as an agricultural engineer from Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA).[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe) • [3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) They disagree on his graduate education. The Org states he holds an MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business.[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe) Equilar and Zonebourse instead record an MBA with honors from Austral University's IAE Business School in Argentina, completed in 1999, together with an executive program at Stanford University.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) • [4](https://www.zonebourse.com/insider/ANGEL-URIBE-A053PY/) The discrepancy is unresolved in the public record; the two accounts may reflect the common conflation of a short Stanford executive course with a degree from the Graduate School of Business.
## Career
**Early operating career.** From August 1999 to July 2002, Uribe was chief executive of Lagarde Winery in Argentina.[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe)
**Southern Cross Group, 2002–2016.** He then spent about fifteen years in Latin American private equity, mainly as a partner at Southern Cross Group, a regional buyout firm.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) Zonebourse records him as a partner at Southern Cross Do Brasil from 2007 to 2016, having founded the firm's Brazilian operation in 2007, and as a managing director at Southern Cross Capital Management SA from 2011 to 2016.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) • [4](https://www.zonebourse.com/insider/ANGEL-URIBE-A053PY/)
**TPG Growth, 2016–2021.** Equilar's biography states that Uribe joined TPG Growth as a senior advisor in 2016 and led the firm's Latin America investment efforts from then on, later as a partner.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) The Org frames the same period as a partnership at TPG Global from March 2016 to June 2021.[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe)
**MELI Kaszek Pioneer Corp, 2021–2023.** Uribe became chief investment officer of MELI Kaszek Pioneer Corp, a blank-check company, in 2021. Zonebourse dates the appointment to 17 June 2021;[4](https://www.zonebourse.com/insider/ANGEL-URIBE-A053PY/) The Org gives September 2021 to July 2023.[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe) The SEC filings confirm the role but not a deactivation date; the SPAC's record of completing an initial business combination is not addressed in the available sources.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1870258/000089924321038035/0000899243-21-038035.txt)
**Kaszek, 2023 onward.** The Org records Uribe as a Partner at Kaszek since August 2023, based in San Francisco.[2](https://theorg.com/org/kaszek-ventures/org-chart/angel-uribe) Equilar lists his current affiliation as Kaszek Management SA.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464)
## Notable investments and boards
At TPG Growth, Uribe led investments in Resultados Digitais, a Brazilian business-software company (RD Gestão e Sistemas), and Digital House, an Argentinian coding and digital-skills school, and served on the boards of both.[3](https://people.equilar.com/bio/person/angel-uribe-kaszek-management-sa/28060464) Zonebourse separately records directorships at both companies.[4](https://www.zonebourse.com/insider/ANGEL-URIBE-A053PY/) Digital House also appears in Kaszek's own portfolio list, predating Uribe's arrival at the firm.[5](https://linkedin.com/company/kaszek-ventures)
No Kaszek-era deal, round size, or valuation is attributed to Uribe in the available record, and it is not known whether his TPG-era board seats remain current.
## Kaszek Ventures in context
Kaszek describes itself as a venture capital firm focused on Latin America, industry- and stage-agnostic, investing mainly in seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. It was founded in 2011 by Hernan Kazah, MercadoLibre's co-founder and former COO/CFO, and Nicolas Szekasy, MercadoLibre's former CFO.[5](https://linkedin.com/company/kaszek-ventures) The firm's stated portfolio includes Nubank, Kavak, Creditas, Gympass, Loggi, QuintoAndar, Contabilizei, Digital House, and NotCo, and it says it co-led Nubank's seed round in 2013.[5](https://linkedin.com/company/kaszek-ventures)
