In line with Westmount Capital’s commitment to excellence and innovation, the firm named Colombian-American Dexter Rosa as a partner earlier this year. Dexter brings a wealth of expertise in evaluating new and undiscovered opportunities. His career began with EF Trading Corp, a Venezuelan independent contractor diversifying in various commodities such as oil & gas, mining, agriculture, and energy. Dexter Rosa’s appointment is a testament to his exceptional capabilities and the significant potential he brings to Westmount Capital.
Additionally, Dexter Rosa has been appointed by Pilar Zamora to represent the Colombian Space Agency (AEC) as the official mandate for the financial closing of its first telecommunications and geosynchronous satellite. This satellite aims to enhance coverage for several strategic sectors of Colombian industry, including mining & energy, oil & gas, agriculture, education, communication, and regional defense. The Colombian Space Agency, founded by Pilar Zamora, boasts a valuation of over a billion dollars with ambitious connectivity plans for the upcoming years.
Pilar Zamora holds a PhD in financial law from Universidad Sergio Arboleda, a Cum Laude Master’s Degree in Law, and several other specializations in financial and commercial law, administrative law, and international contracts. She is an entrepreneur passionate about science and technology with social impact, and currently serves as the Vice President of the International Federation of the Astronautic-IAF for developing and emerging countries.
Dexter Rosa has highlighted the expansion of launch pads on Colombia’s Atlantic coast as a tremendous opportunity, noting that launch pad slots around the world are overbooked for the next 24-36 months. This situation potentially attracts significant attention from other space agencies interested in using Colombia’s launch facilities. The country’s geographical location offers a notable advantage, with a velocity to orbit 200 kilometers per hour greater than that of the JFK Space Center.
Westmount Capital plans to begin raising capital in the next few months, with Dexter Rosa overseeing commercial strategies in collaboration with multiple space agencies and financial institutions. The Colombian Space Agency’s satellite project is poised to be a major milestone in the aerospace industry for Latin America, potentially becoming the region’s most significant advancement in this field.
This strategic partnership between Westmount Capital and Dexter Rosa marks a significant step forward, combining expertise and innovation to achieve ambitious goals in the global market.
