Red Innova

I served as Chief Operating Officer of Red Innova in Madrid, Spain for the 2011 edition, held on 15-16 June.

Red Innova was the community on innovation, internet and entrepreneurship connecting Latin America with the world, bringing together influential entrepreneurs, developers, mentors, investors, executives and media to share projects, learn and build lasting business relationships.

My responsibilities included leading strategy, programme development (especially by attracting international talent), operations and marketing, including the creation of a new website.

The event focused on Latin American and Spanish entrepreneurship, featuring over 30 speakers and attracting more than 1,300 participants. Twenty startups from Latin America competed for a €100K prize.

We held the conference at the historic Teatro Circo Price, a circus venue in central Madrid.

Key speakers and partners included Al Jazeera, Amazon, BBVA, Evernote, Facebook, Google, Prisa, Telefonica and Wayra, Tuenti, Twitter and numerous others.
