Meet
Mau Sanchez

Growing up in San Antonio gave me a firsthand appreciation for the power of community and the promise of meaningful economic development. After earning my degree in Economics and Finance at the University of the Incarnate Word, I took that passion to New York City, working as a bond trader and stockbroker on Wall Street—an experience that taught me the importance of resilience, forward-thinking strategy, and ethical leadership. When I returned home, I sharpened my expertise under institutional giants like JP Morgan, BBVA, and FXCM, ultimately launching my own investment advisory practice guided by a firm commitment to putting people first.

Along the way, I’ve seen how purposeful collaboration can revive our city’s treasures—most notably when I served on the board that helped restore the historic Hot Wells of Bexar County. As a longstanding member of the San Antonio Rotary Club, and a previous member of Soho House, I’ve learned that community-based action, civic-minded leadership, and mindful collaboration can transform lives. Now, I want to take that commitment to the next level by advocating for greater private-sector participation in our city—from well-capitalized companies across the publicly traded marketplace to Fortune 500 firms—so we can create the kinds of jobs and infrastructure that ensure that not only San Antonio prospers, but that each and every citizen benefits from the revitalization each step up the way.

I’m running for Mayor to usher in an era of bold, accountable leadership that fosters economic revitalization, advances educational opportunities, and ensures a safer, thriving city for all. Together, we can Break Barriers and Build Futures—uniting our rich heritage with fresh, innovative ideas that position San Antonio at the forefront of sustainable growth and opportunity. Join me, and let’s chart a new path for our city’s promise and potential.
