She operates where trillions in capital, governments, and the future of cities converge.

Born in Colombia during one of the most volatile decades in its history, and now operating between London, Spain, Dubai, and New York, Lady Margareth González works at the highest intersections of capital, policy, and innovation.

She is not a fund manager.

She is a strategic capital matchmaker, building trusted, long-term relationships between:

• Visionary founders • Family offices • Institutional investors • Sovereign-adjacent capital • Government-level stakeholders

Through her global network, she operates with relationship-level access across investor groups representing more than $3 trillion in combined AUM.

As Founder & CEO of Capital Variation, she advises and connects decision-makers across:

Infrastructure Real Estate Healthcare Technology Sustainability & ESG

She also serves as a judge for AIM's Future Cities Initiative, helping shape the next generation of urban infrastructure, sustainability, and trillion-dollar city ecosystems.

This places her inside the rooms where:

• Megacities are architected • Infrastructure capital is allocated • Quiet power shifts hands

This episode is not about money. It is about the forces that decide who gets it.

In this rare, unfiltered deep-dive, Andy Murphy and Lady Margareth go beyond traditional finance to unpack:

• Trust as the true bottleneck of global capital • How trillion-dollar networks actually move • The psychology of sovereign, family office, and institutional decision-makers • The hidden differences between U.S., European, and Gulf capital • The identity shifts required to operate at geopolitical scale

This is not a business interview. It is a field manual on influence, power, trust, and strategic capital flow at the highest level.
