Gregorio González Nicolini (born May 22, 1974), known as Gregorio González, is a Chilean film producer and financial engineer, founder and currently CEO of LVA Indices (2005) and founder of film production company Forastero (2009), producing Sundance winner La Nana, among other films. He is nephew to Chilean TV celebrity Roberto Nicolini, great grandson of Italian architect Arnaldo Barison, who designed many of the landmark buildings of Valparaíso such as Palacio Baburizza, and great great grandson of Italian painter Giuseppe Barison. His brother Pablo González is an internationally recognised designer and one of the owners of Santiago Motion Graphics (SMOG).
Gregorio González Nicolini was born in Venezuela to Chilean parents. He attended primary through the beginning of secondary school at Institutos Educacionales Asociados in Caracas. The family returned to Chile in 1989, settling in Santiago de Chile, where he finished high school at Colegio San Ignacio El Bosque. He studied Mathematical Engineering at the Department of Mathematical Engineering of the University of Chile. His engineering thesis advisors were Chilean National Science Award winners Eric Goles and Servet Martínez, and his thesis work led to the publication of a "short communications" article in Springer-Verlag journal Granular Matter. He is a self-taught filmmaker and later studied acting at the Academia Club de Teatro in Santiago, Chile.
Gregorio González started his career in finance in 1999 as an analyst at financial boutique Vision Advisors, providing quantitative analysis for Chilean pension funds as part of their institutional fund distribution service.
In 2003, Gregorio González was Head of Research at Vision Advisors, where he started the project that led to the creation of the LVA Chilean fixed income indices, a joint venture between Vision Advisors and investment bank Larrain Vial to calculate and provide indexes for the Chilean local fixed income market. The launching of the indices in 2005 led to the launching of the company LVA Indices. He was appointed CEO upon its creation and later made partner for his contribution to the firm.
