Born and raised in Buenos Aires, got a true multicultural upbringing between both the Anglo and Spanish cultures. Fortunate to spend part of the childhood at the family "estancia" (ranch) which provided a good mix of country and big-city cultures. Unrelentingly curious and a bookworm from an early age, soon realized that neither singing nor law provided full career satisfaction, ended up working (and travelling the world) in the maritime industry for over 20 years until 2010, when it became possible to indulge full time in that entrepreneurial vocation. Law Degree from the Universidad de Buenos Aires, MBA from Oxford University, and Doctor of Education from University of Miami ... now studying AI at Miami Dade College. As a university professor for over a decade I'm always learning!

Education and technology. Using AI to improve education. Finding ways to fight government corruption with technology.

Classification of humans using the concept of "race" is unscientific and morally indefensible.

I found TED while searching online for talks by Richard Dawkins. I fell in love with TED at first sight, watched tons of videos online and, after my first TED conference in 2009, I just keep coming back :)
