Meet Jaime Nacach | Founder & CEO of Virtual Latinos

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jaime Nacach and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jaime, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Even though I moved to the US at a young age, I always felt highly connected to my country of birth, Mexico, and wanted to find a way to give back. I volunteered with the local San Diego Mexican-Jewish community for 12 years, and then had the idea of building Virtual Latinos, a company that would allow me to follow my dream of building a business that would let me help people along the way.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Of course, there have been challenges along the way.
I believe that one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the value of hiring the right team members. When you hire the right people, people that believe in what you’re doing, have the same passion and are as dedicated as you are, your business will definitely grow faster.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love San Diego, and this isn’t actually a hypothetical question. In fact, when friends who live abroad come to visit, I take them around town to see!
For a quick 1-day tour:
1. First stop would be Coronado Island. Walk around the ferry landing, then drive to the other side to see the open beach next to Hotel del Coronado.
2. Visit Downtown San Diego. Either drive or cross from Coronado to Seaport Village, walk around the shops, eat something and then walk around the Headquarters. From there, walk towards 5th Ave in the Gaslamp District.
3. Grab something to eat. I personally love Burger lounge downtown, so that would probably be one of my choices. Otherwise, we could just walk around and let them preferably pick a place they’d like to eat at, there are plenty of options.
4. Balboa Park. It’s a great and quick stop. We would spend around one hour walking around the park and gardens and going inside the botanical gardens. Then, we would also stop at the “International village” of small houses from around the world; it’s very interesting!
5. Hillcrest. Then, we would go walk around here to give them an intro to another part of the city.
6. Point Loma. Before dinner, we’d go to Point Loma for a spectacular view of the city.
7. Dinner/Sunset at Liberty Station. We’d probably finish the tourist visits here and have dinner. I personally love to eat at Soda & Swine
8. Little Italy. For Drinks and dessert!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to give a shout-out to someone that helped me with Virtual Latinos in the early days, one of our mentors: Steve Morley.
He provided free consulting for our business when we were starting. Steve helped us create our pricing models, figure out how to grow our team, what are the best ways to make payments internally, how to target the right clients, define the services we wanted to provide, and more.
Over four years later, I can assure you that Steven’s advice has been completely invaluable, and super helpful, and he’s someone that has directly impacted our company’s success!
