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.
