Entrepreneur. In 1999 I cofounded IPLAN in Argentina, one of the first fiber optic Internet in the country. IPLAN has a 300 Km of fiber-optic network in the main cities in Argentina. As a nature lover who lives 5 month in the Andes I am very interested in sustainability, in 2009 founded Sustentator, a leading rooftop solar operator. In 2010 founded Enzyme Venture Capital and invested in several tech startups. In 2018 founded El Azufre, working on creating the first sustainable Ski resort and mountain village deep in the Andes.

I first attended TED in 2009 in a very difficult time, while my father was fighting cancer. I was delighted to find a crowd so capable and willing to help the world. While I was there and as a result with a talk with Tim Berners-Lee about Open Data, an idea started taking shape. Almost one year later that idea is The Wikilfie Foundation (wikilife.org) and has already released the first beta app for the iPhone for individuals to collect their health habits and conditions and share it anonymously to create a database of health information for the whole world. TED really was a catalyst for me, as it has been to many.
