About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Facilitate global achievement of shared prosperity through the Smart City as a Cooperative model, the use of Collective Intelligence for solution making and Stoicism as life philosophy.

ABOUT ME

Am from México and came to Europe to standardize the Smart City as a Cooperative model through KU Leuven’s eGovernance Master and directly meeting with the key players of the field.

I’ll be staying in Europe 2 years and after that I’ll tour through Latin America to replicate the model, so every time I move you may have another place to visit :D

I love having long conversations with some beers, wine or coffee and trying new kinds of food.

PHILOSOPHY

The search for Eudaimonia in the most enjoyable way with the less waste impact on the planet and the highest shared impact on society.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chinchorro bank at the Mexican Caribbean; it is a 1550s Spanish and English ship cementery. Full of sharks, big fish, turtles, dolphins and sea crocodriles!
I was snorkeling there by accident -because one day before I convinced some nice fishermen to let me go with them to their island village; when suddenly one big shark passed 2 meters away from me, it was an amazing feeling: A thunder went through all my body, not as fear, but as alert sensation and at the same time great admiration. I felt completely part of nature. The shark disappeared smoothly in the horizon within seconds.

When we returned to the island village of Chinchorro there were 1.5 meter Iguanas all over the sand. Amazing place. Completely a paradise.
The best place on Earth.
