CARLOS DE ORY · CO 16Flight log
I am Carlos de Ory. I started my first business at 16 and I have been building companies for more than 20 years. I am a dad, and these days I live between Europe and Sumba, an island one hour from Bali.
I started with travel, then lived and built with other founders in New York, Berlin, Miami and Bali. In 2022 Forbes España included me in its list of the 100 most creative people in business.
