A decisive optimist, launching initiatives to incubate innovation products/processes at the International Trade Centre, as its Innovation Lead. What I am most excited about at the moment is the extraordinary opportunity that we have to solve the world biggest challenges with technology. For this, we need to have more inter-sector exchanges, agreements, and plans of action. I've dedicated the past eight years of my career to increasing effectiveness of development/humanitarian action through innovation processes. Previous to that, I worked in Lebanon as a civil servant for my home country, Colombia. I studied International Relations in Colombia and completed a MSc on Innovation for Sustainable Development at the University of Sussex, UK.

I am a global citizen who has lived in 7 countries - India, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Uganda, Myanmar, England and Canada - and as a result of my exposure I champion local-global connections and solidarity. My passions lie in the intersecting worlds of technology, business, sustainability and spirituality, to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. My work experience is as diverse as my upbringing. I have 20 years of experience across the sustainable development and technology sectors. Currently I am an advisor to executives building social purpose businesses. My expertise lies in business development, strategic partnerships, strategy, operations management, and ecosystem engagement. I have a track record of building new initiatives, driving growth for organizations that are transforming traditional sectors, enabling adoption of nascent technologies, and promoting larger social movements. I have had the privilege to enable social change and innovation across the world. My contributions include: * Developing carbon-neutral, sustainably designed construction solutions at Solarpunk Futures; * Advocating policy and partnerships for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy at Numinus; * Piloting blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity and open finance pilots for Canada at ATB Ventures; * Advancing AR/VR/MR metaverse applications for enterprises at Finger Food Advanced Tech Group; * Shaping policies that enable digital innovation and growth of tech companies at BC Tech Association; * Scaling the social media Saas revolution through global channel partnerships at Hootsuite; * Growing public interest and education in social impact investing at +Acumen; * Supporting renewable energy (wind, solar and run-of-river) and transmission projects; * Improving the effectiveness of funding for poverty-eradication programs with donors at UNDP. I hold an MSc in International Development Studies from SOAS University of London, and a BA in Political Science & Sociology from UBC. I have served on 3 Boards (BCCIC, CAIN, Environmental Youth Alliance). I am an alumnus of the prestigious Governor General’s Canadian Leadership Conference, a mentor to immigrants and young women, and a public speaker at global forums from DIACC to WEF. I believe in being an engaged member of my communities. I enjoy traveling, finding new adventures, and engaging in activities that support my growth mindset and wellbeing.
