Founder

I´ve been an extroverted soul my entire life. I love talking to people, understanding their psyche and generally understanding why people do the things they do. That´s why a do sales. Founded my first EdTech startup at age 19, managed my way to work at the Colombian Consulate at NYC, worked as VP of Biz Dev at one of the first e-scooter Startups to launch in Colombia and now my life is Preki.

Tahi Hakim

Founder

Numbers are my passion. I'm obsessive with details and I like to think nothing escapes me. I worked at J.P. Morgan vetting companies, reviewing financial statements and participated in structuring of bond deals. Always knew my purpose in life was to create my own business so I quit everything and jumped into the startup world. Worked as the VP of finance at one of the first e-scooter startups to launch in Colombia and led the entire due diligence for an acquisition offer.
