Let’s talk The company
O.N.E. Amazon brings together experience in entrepreneurship, finance, diplomacy, environmental science, and field technology.
Founder & CEO
In 2005, Rodrigo saw a business in something Southeast Asia’s coconut industry threw away: the water. He built O.N.E. Coconut Water around it, with near-zero-waste factories in Indonesia and the Philippines that made him one of the world’s largest coconut processors. L Catterton backed the brand. PepsiCo acquired it.
After selling the brand and its factories, he founded O.N.E. Amazon in 2022 to do the same for the standing forest: find the value the market overlooks, prove it, and build the systems that let capital price it.
