Javier Vela

Originally from Santiago Chile, Javier Vela has lived throughout Europe, Latin America, and the US, before making Puerto Vallarta home. His professional career spanned several years in the Global Credit Risk Management area, where he managed teams throughout Europe and the Americas, as well as building lasting relationships with his internal/external portfolio of clients. He is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian and has travelled the world for both business and pleasure. One of his most memorable travels was to Pamplona, Spain, for the Running of the Bulls where he ran three times.

Given his peripatetic nature and living in multiple homes, Javier has always had a fascination for architecture, interior design, and art, which led him to a second career in international real estate.

In his spare time, Javier enjoys long distance swimming, power walking, cooking, and exploring the beautiful and diverse surroundings of his new Puerto Vallarta home. He is married to Suzanne and has two adult daughters, Catalina and Veronica who both reside in Denver, Colorado.
