José R. Torres Carrasco: The Global Entrepreneur Rewriting Business Rules
U.S. Army Veteran Drives Economic Change
Built From Experience, Not Theory
When José R. Torres Carrasco talks about business, he speaks from lived experience. A Dominican-American founder and managing partner of Torres Capital Partners, Inc., Torres Carrasco has built his career at the intersection of finance, distribution, and hospitality, moving fluidly between strategy and execution.
Rather than following a single path, his work reflects an understanding that modern entrepreneurship requires adaptability, discipline, and a willingness to operate across multiple sectors at once.
From Wealth Strategy to Ownership
Before launching his own ventures, including NJNY Wholesale, LLC and Nova Terra SRL, Torres Carrasco advised athletes and entertainers at Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management on asset protection and long-term wealth strategy. That role sharpened his financial instincts and exposed him to the realities behind high-earning careers, where sustainability matters as much as success.
The experience laid a strong foundation for his transition into ownership, informing a broad investment approach that spans beverage brands such as Dyckman Beer LLC and hospitality equity through BTG LLC and 26 Street Distillery LLC.
A Disciplined Approach to Diversified Growth
Torres Carrasco’s investment philosophy centers on diversification guided by structure. Each venture reflects a balance between opportunity and risk, culture and capital. His work underscores how financial acumen, when paired with operational insight, can create businesses built for longevity rather than quick wins.
Leadership Shaped by Service and Vision
A United States Army veteran, Torres Carrasco credits his military service with reinforcing the self-starter mentality, accountability, and discipline that continue to shape his leadership style. Those principles now inform how he builds teams, evaluates opportunities, and navigates complex business environments.
With a BBA in International Finance from Baruch College and an MBA from CUP Madrid, he brings a global perspective to independent entrepreneurship. His journey reflects the evolving role of founders who build quietly, strategically, and with a long-term view of impact in the global economy.
