Early life
Rodríguez-Pastor was born in Peru on 11 April 1959. Following the 1968 coup, he and his family relocated first to Ecuador and subsequently to California. His father, Carlos Rodríguez-Pastor Sr., who served as Peru’s Minister of Economy between 1982 and 1984, purchased Banco Internacional del Peru in 1994 prior to his passing in 1995.
He received his early education at Immaculate Heart College in Lima, earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1983, and completed his MBA at the Tuck School of Business in 1988.

In August 2011, he was identified by Bloomberg as one of eight "hidden billionaires" worldwide; by March 2012, Forbes recognized him among the richest globally.
