Carlos Vaz | Make It Happen

My Story

Turning $300 into $2.5B in transactions
Carlos was born into a humble Brazilian household in Minas Gerais. One of nine children, Carlos’ father was a local butcher and his mother, a homemaker. Together, they led by example and instilled the principles of family, hard work, discipline, and values into the children’s everyday lives. These principles grounded the family, bound them together, and provided Carlos with an unrelenting drive to learn, determination to overcome obstacles, and improve the lives of others. This drive would take Carlos to the United States with three hundred dollars in his pocket where he would enter an unpaid internship and would have to work in several jobs to make it happen.

My Purpose

My determination
My determination compels me to be at my best each and every day. I owe that to my family, my teams, my investors, myself, and all those I’m fortunate enough to call friends. What I’ve discovered is that there is always something to learn and some way to be better. Sometimes one’s drive, focus and perseverance are enough to forge the way ahead. Other times, it is one’s humility, gratitude, and willingness to be vulnerable and learn. In the end, we can all be a little better than we were the day before and, if we try, we can have a positive impact on the lives of many people.
