Soy Sofía Saglietti, fundadora de BIG Fiestas, organizadora de eventos hace más de 14 años y docente de diseño y creatividad.

Durante años trabajé creando experiencias para cumpleaños, casamientos y eventos, pero con el tiempo entendí que celebrar va mucho más allá de una fiesta: tiene que ver con las emociones, los vínculos y los recuerdos que construimos con otras personas.

Esa mirada fue la que dio origen a BIG Fiestas, una startup argentina creada desde cero junto a Nicolás Rivanera, buscando transformar la manera en la que las personas organizan eventos y conectan con proveedores.

Hoy mi foco está en construir comunidad alrededor de un producto digital con propósito, combinando creatividad, experiencia humana, tecnología y comunicación emocional.

En mis charlas me interesa hablar del lado más real de emprender: validar ideas, sostener una visión, conectar con las personas y entender que, detrás de cualquier plataforma, lo verdaderamente importante siempre es lo humano

Richard Torrey was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and later moved with his family to Ludlow, Massachusetts. From a young age, he developed a strong work ethic and regularly took on different jobs to help earn money. Throughout childhood and adolescence, he worked mowing lawns, painting houses, babysitting, baling hay, and managing newspaper routes. Growing up in a family with limited financial resources taught him the importance of saving money and working consistently toward long-term goals.
Rick carried this discipline into adulthood, remaining focused on improving his skills and creating opportunities for himself. His determination to work and learn simultaneously became a defining part of his early years and later contributed heavily to his success in both technology and business.
Rick Torrey completed high school while continuing to work multiple jobs and take classes whenever possible. He enrolled in Springfield Tech computer processing school, where he developed technical skills that later became valuable in his programming career. Between 1973 and 1975, he balanced school with full-time work while also taking evening college courses. During that period, he trained full-time in Experimental Engineering at Pratt & Whitney in Hartford, Connecticut.
Richard also found time to coach Little League hockey between 1973 and 1974 despite his demanding schedule. Under his guidance, the Ludlow, Massachusetts team achieved success in regional competition. Although he could not continue coaching due to work and school responsibilities, the experience demonstrated his leadership abilities and commitment to teamwork.
Richard Torrey purchased his first family home in Windsor, Connecticut, in 1975 after years of carefully saving money. That same year, he left Pratt and Whitney to begin working at Travelers Insurance as a computer programmer. His technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities allowed him to advance quickly within the company.
Torrey later transitioned into technical support, where he played an important role in improving methods for developing computer systems. One of his most significant accomplishments was helping design more efficient access methods for computer development systems during a time when even large technology companies faced limitations in these areas. Although he found success in programming and technical work, he remained interested in exploring opportunities outside the corporate environment.
Richard Torrey's path into entrepreneurship began unexpectedly in 1987 when he loaned money to a friend who wanted to purchase a small ski shop. When the business struggled and eventually closed in 1991, he decided to purchase the store from the bank himself. At the time, he had very little retail experience, but he committed himself to learning every aspect of the business.

His work has developed across investment management, enterprise finance, corporate strategy, and value-oriented business leadership. In 2012, he founded PW Partners in Jupiter, Florida, establishing a firm focused on small and mid-cap companies and the long-term value that can be created through operational strategy, disciplined capital allocation, and careful business planning.

The firm focuses on maximizing the potential of portfolio companies through strategic decision-making and practical operating measures. His investment management background includes a particular focus on the restaurant industry, where performance often depends on operating structure, capital planning, brand execution, and steady financial oversight.

Patrick’s professional work has been featured in Barron’s, Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. In 2018, Ernst & Young named the founder and CEO of PW Partners its Entrepreneur Of The Year. This recognition reflects his experience as an investment professional, company builder, and executive, spanning public markets, private investment opportunities, and consumer-focused businesses.

In 2015, Nation’s Restaurant News named him to its Power List, which recognized 50 influential people in the restaurant industry that year.

Patrick began his career in 1998 as an investment analyst at Prudential Capital Group and Prudential Securities. In that position, he specialized in commercial property and publicly traded real estate investment trusts. He later joined Deutsche Bank as vice president of investment banking, spending several years with the multinational bank and financial services company. After that, he moved to Illinois and worked with a well-known hedge fund focused on long-short equity before becoming managing partner at PWK Partners in Chicago. He remained there until 2012, when he relocated to Florida and founded PW Partners.

His academic background began at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where he studied economics and competed in baseball and football. After a back injury ended his athletic career, he transferred to Boston College in Massachusetts and graduated from the Chestnut Hill campus with honors in accountancy. Patrick later earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation and completed further investment education at Columbia University, including the Graduate School of Business Executive Value Investing Program under Bruce Greenwald.
