Paco founded Envirosell Inc. in 1986 as a testing agency for prototype stores. A consulting firm that does research, Envirosell has worked in 50 countries and with more than one-third of the Fortune 100 list. While prototype testing of stores, restaurants, and bank branches is still 30% of its business, Envirosell’s largest clients today are global technology companies trying to understand consumer behavior in-store, in-home, on the job, and online. Other clients included global Mall Developers, CPGs, healthcare groups, airports, professional sports clubs, theme parks, home builders, office designers, and online agencies. Paco stepped back as CEO of Envirosell in August of 2020 and is now serving as a strategic advisor.
