Bio

I believe in the power of innovation and collaboration to build a sustainable future for all. For the past 11 years, I have effectively developed and facilitated projects to drive that change.

I am a co-founder of Cirklo, the first social innovation consultancy in Latin America, working with organizations around the world to create joint social and economic value. My main role was building a network of strategic partners that would allow us to push forward the transition towards a sustainable economy. In 2019 I moved to the Netherlands, where I work at the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which provides the world’s most trusted and widely used standards on sustainability reporting.

In 2021 I launched the project Diáspora Mexicana y Desarrollo Sostenible (Diáspora2030mx), a platform for open conversations and engagement with practitioners of sustainable development from the Mexican diaspora, to inspire, connect and spark collaborations.
