Palomino’s entrepreneurial journey began in an unexpected way, with a comic book subscription service in Washington Heights when he was just 21. Although this early venture wasn’t destined for long-term success, it sparked Palomino’s passion for business and set him on a path to greater achievements.
He taught himself how to program an inventory system on an original IBM PC, which propelled him into key roles at the American Stock Exchange and Tandem Computers. At Tandem, Palomino played a critical part in sales development, contributing to the foundation of today’s Silicon Valley.
In 2005, armed with years of business experience, Palomino founded Value Prop with a mission to help smaller B2B businesses develop effective strategies that drive growth. His firm became known for its unique ability to tailor strategic plans that addressed the specific needs of each client, empowering them to thrive in a competitive marketplace.

Through Value Prop, Palomino worked with businesses to execute their plans with precision, fostering a culture of growth and innovation that benefited companies across various industries.
