I studied social communications in Argentina, did a postgraduate course in corporate communications and graphic design for a short period of time. Worked building the local chapters and communications departments of UN youth and “Un techo para Argentina” (A roof for Argentina), a NGO that builds houses for people that didn´t have their own space to live. I was totally into words, interaction and media, so I flirted with radio, tv and a magazine in Barcelona but ended up seeking even more challenging and entrepreneurial knowledge by studying an MBA in Madrid (and came across The Hub!). Love my country, friends and family but wanted to explore the world and other cultures, maybe encouraged by 2 life-changing experiences as an exchange student: one in Belfast (NI, UK) in a year of cease-fire, the second one in Palo Alto (CA, US). The latter might be the reason why I am so interested in technology! Personal communication is for me as important as the one mediated by technology and its possibilities to connect and enable people, projects and communities. I have also worked at an e-learning & training consultancy and have been the coordinator of an innovative programme to foster women career´s through mentoring and the use of technology for the past year at IE Business School. I like taking loads of photographs as a way of documenting life, enjoy discovering places while walking/cycling and several sports although I hardly have time to practice them.
