Meet the Team
Our Team
A small, founder-led team with full alignment. Every dollar we manage is invested alongside our own capital.
Lucas Sacerdote
Founder & CIO
From a young age, Lucas was drawn to the investment world, learning early the value of understanding companies deeply and holding them patiently. After earning his Economics degree at Universidad de San Andres, he spent 3+ years at KIG Investment Management, a concentrated value fund, sharpening his craft through rigorous bottom-up research and real-world portfolio work. During 2024, he built hands-on investing experience by participating in a prime real-estate investment in Argentina, developing a Chinese car distributor, and managing his own public-equities portfolio. He founded Valora Investment Group in 2025 to bring that same owner's mindset to an institutional standard — pairing primary diligence, disciplined underwriting, and patience in every investment decision.
Skin in the Game
Lucas committed 100% of personal capital to Valora at inception. He is the fund's largest investor. Incentive alignment and "skin in the game" is key.
Bautista Cavanagh
Chief Operations Officer
Bautista's working approach gravitates toward the mechanics of businesses: building order, process, and execution discipline. He began working at 18 with Argentine SMEs, high-pressure environments where resilience is common but structure often isn't, and learned firsthand how clarity in numbers, routines, and accountability can transform a company from surviving to compounding. Across roles and projects, he focused on designing practical frameworks that raise output by standardizing inputs. Today, he keeps Valora's operating platform tight and improving, aligning tools, processes, partners, and execution so the investment team can move with confidence and precision.
