From aerospace engineer to building Google's first international presence to cross-border investing, Antoine Colaço | Managing Partner, Valor Capital Group

In this episode we are excited to welcome Antoine Colaço, Managing Partner of Valor Capital Group, a cross border venture investment firm. Antoine was an early employee at Google and helped build one of the company's early international offices, then going on to global leadership roles overseeing Latin America, Asia and global business development. Prior Antoine had roles at Yahoo! and Goldman Sachs.   In our conversation, Antoine shares the story of Google's early expansion building teams in India, about the importance of relationships and internal alignment in expansion success, how international cannot be a side project but must be core to the whole company, and how the walls are crumbling that prevented company leaders from seeing global opportunity.    Get your copy of our Wall Street Journal Bestselling book, GLOBAL CLASS, a playbook on how to build a successful global business. https://www.amazon.com/Global-Class-Fastest-Growing-Companies-Globally/dp/1637742185 Find our entire podcast episode library at https://www.globalclassbook.com/podcast
