Though his deepest childhood memories have always been anchored on a boat off Yelapa’s shores, André spent his youth seeking out the elusive, evocative elements that make “moving pictures” truly resonate with viewers. After earning his degree in Cinema/Television from the University of Southern California, André's talent and creative vision led him to numerous adventures, sharing their stories as a Supervising Producer, Director, Cinematographer, and Editor.
As an experiential storyteller, he has developed a keen eye for creating unique architectural concepts for the Hospitality & Vacation rental markets in San Miguel de Allende, Cuernavaca and is now living in Yelapa and taking the lead in the development of INDALO’s Barefoot Luxury.
ALEX AINSWORTH
FOUNDING PARTNER
Having grown up in the UK and the south of France, food and culture have always been a big part of Alex´s upbringing. Having worked many different fields, it was the bar and restaurant industry that hooked him. After moving to Puerto Vallarta to help start a small bar for some friends, decided to stay and now co owns and operates two of the most successful cocktail and Mexican distillate bars in the whole of mexico. With extensive local area knowledge and hospitality background he looks forward to leading the food and beverage aspect of all things INDALO.
TIM ROBINSON
DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL MARKETS
Tim, a co-founding partner of INDALO and a dedicated entrepreneur, started his career as a geologist before transitioning to capital markets in 2018. Over the past six years, he has successfully raised millions of dollars and enhanced the visibility of numerous public and private companies. After a transformative year in Mexico in 2021, Tim shifted his focus to impact investing, with a particular emphasis on sustainable real estate and the global wellness industry. Outside of work, Tim is a strong advocate for mental health and alternative medicine, including plant medicine and psychedelics. He is also an avid CrossFit enthusiast and enjoys mountain climbing in his spare time.
He’s a pragmatist—hungry to experience life not as it is packaged and sold, but as it is. His vested interest in hospitality, culture, and design, is cut with curiosity of what’s possible, beyond the status quo. Bashar is always looking for that spark—that perfect symmetry of an idea and its physical manifestation—to make human experiences as we know them, better. He’s the consummate Host of the Soirée—ever in pursuit of a shared humanity among friends, colleagues, and total strangers. This is perhaps his greatest gift: bringing together a group that’s more inspiring than the sum of its parts.
