In 1999, Cenmar founded Latin eVentures Ltd. and its operating brand, eAQUI (now Softcorp), Latin America's first web-based business to business e-Procurement solution. As CEO of Latin eVenutres Ltd.

Cenmar discovered the need for a service like CoachLink in 2001, while searching for a coach for himself. As an executive and entrepreneur, he realized that he would have benefited greatly by working with personal coaches at various points of his life. At the time of this search, he found little consumer-friendly information about coaching and the benefits it provides. He was also confused about the qualifications, skills, and credentials of coaches to whom he was referred to by friends. He created CoachLink to help others understand coaching and to assist them in finding the best qualified coach for their specific situation.

Cenmar is a practicioner of Zen and a student of Eastern thought and human potential. He hopes that the services CoachLink provides will help others find paths toward more simple, enlightened, and fulfilling lives.
