Enrique Chávez is the Founder and Managing Director of KC Consulting, an independent advisory firm specializing in sell-side mergers and acquisitions for private and family-owned businesses across Latin America.

With more than three decades of leadership experience in multinational and regional organizations, Enrique brings a unique combination of executive management, strategic advisory and transaction expertise. Prior to founding KC Consulting, he served as Managing Director in Colombia and Venezuela, and several business units in Peru, as part of the one of the world's leading Testing, Inspection and Certification groups, where he led business growth, strategic initiatives and complex operations across multiple industries and countries.

Throughout his career, Enrique has worked closely with business owners, corporate executives and boards of directors, gaining first-hand insight into the challenges of building, scaling and ultimately transitioning privately held companies. This perspective enables him to advise shareholders not only on valuation and transaction strategy, but also on the human, operational and legacy considerations that often determine the success of a deal.

His experience is supported by advanced international training in mergers and acquisitions, valuation and executive leadership, including studies at NYU Stern School of Business, IMD Lausanne, Kellogg School of Management and Universidad de los Andes. He is also a Certified M&A Professional (IMAA).

Enrique has served on the boards of leading business and accreditation organizations in Latin America and is recognized for combining rigorous financial analysis with a pragmatic understanding of how strategic acquirers evaluate opportunities in emerging markets.

At KC Consulting, he works directly with shareholders throughout every stage of the transaction process, helping them maximize value, manage complexity and achieve successful outcomes with confidence and discretion.
