Ricardo Salguero
Marketing
Ricardo Salguero was born in Quito, Ecuador. A lifelong entrepreneur, he started selling bites of his apple in Kindergarten to his classmates.
Following his passion, at 14 years old pioneered a Mountain Biking Magazine in Ecuador with his brother which became the largest cycling magazine in South America at the time.
School and following conventional rules were never his strong suit and he was “invited” not to come back to his K-12 school for his senior year. His father sent him to live with his brother and lifelong mentor Carlos in the US where he earned a Bachelor’s degree at age 20 in Computer Information Systems with a minor in Math and Graphic Design while working 7 jobs. Earning several internships and job offers in the tech field.
Learned the ways of the corporate world while quickly rising in the ranks in companies like Intel and Cisco Systems. He started his eCommerce journey selling tech goods on eBay easily sourced in Silicon Valley. Moved to Ecuador following the love of his life and wife of 17 years. A born daredevil nearly became a quadriplegic after a motorcycle accident that left him bed-bound for 10 months.
He moved back to the US where he and his wife started an eCommerce business with $400 which grew to an 8-figure tech business that nearly became a public entity with partners like Verizon, Synnex and other Fortune 500 companies. Ricardo has utilized his tech and sales skills to own succeed and fail on various ventures like electronics recycling, GPS tracking, Pet food, and cellular amplification.
An avid endurance and OCR athlete has completed several 60 hour+ endurance events which sparked a strong desire to give back and serve others. Ricardo volunteers at Operation Enduring Warrior whose mission is to honor, empower, and motivate our nation’s wounded military and law enforcement veterans. He is also a board member at 2 non-profits A Spring of Hope and the Give Team.
Today Ricardo has founded with his brother Carlos his latest venture Marketer Brothers which is his latest initiative to give back to all those entrepreneurs in a dual Language format (Spanish) in their journey to success and to work with those serious ones that want to take their business to the next level.
