“PUERTO RICO IS BLOOMING AS A GLOBAL HUB FOR INNOVATION WITH COMPETITIVE TAX INCENTIVES, AND A HIGHLY SKILLED WORKFORCE… THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE ENDLESS.”– GIOVANNI MENDEZ, CEO, GEO

Giovanni Méndez Feliciano has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a Juris Doctor. Upon completion of the law degree, Giovanni took the Puerto Rico bar, and applied for admission to the United States Tax Court, given his interest in Business and Tax Law. As of today, he has extensive experience as a corporate and tax attorney, including, but not limited to, compliance, financial reporting, tax return preparation, and regulatory matters. At the age of 31, he founded his firm, and has mentored over 500 clients at both the state and federal levels. He managed clients from Fortune 500 companies, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications firms, technology, software companies, and Blockchain companies, among others.

Long before he began his law studies, Giovanni was passionate about contributions and had the opportunity to work in the financial sector. He was able to carry out and tie his education and knowledge into his professional career. After spending a few years working for a private company, he ventured to open his own law firm, Global Economic Optimization, also known as GEO Tax.

There is an increasing number of individuals and businesses from around the world coming to Puerto Rico. Our island is blooming as a global hub for innovation with competitive tax incentives, and a highly skilled workforce. The island’s interesting legal and fiscal framework as a U.S. territory, the resiliency of its people, its location, and top-level professionals, make Puerto Rico a competitive jurisdiction to attract new capital investment. Through GEO Tax, we help individuals and businesses to get established on the island. We provide our clients with a unique and transparent entry to the various economic incentive programs, optimize their business structures, and ensure compliance while we bring a personalized approach that provides each client with a wide range of services.

As native Puerto Ricans, we are committed to helping promote economic growth with programs and tools that drive job creation, capital investment, and continuous innovation. We are convinced that the opportunities are endless, and thus, we won’t stop innovating.
