Reny’s Dad is actually Portuguese, but he moved to Venezuela in his childhood. And decided to set up a bakery selling Portuguese specialities in Valencia. Reny has inherited the ‘itchy feet’ and ‘home cooking’ genes that led his Dad to move abroad and recreate the taste of home there.
After studying Economics in Valencia and do a Master of Marketing and Sales in Madrid, Reny moved to Cambridge and worked at the Varsity Hotel while he was learning English.
Then he worked as an analyst for two years before committing to Arepa’s Station full time.
He likes to measure everything and says that numbers don’t lie. He’s in charge of our finances and always on the lookout for new business opportunities. When we started the business, he didn’t know how to make arepas, but now he can make them better than anyone else.
