Diego Saez-Gil

I am a global entrepreneur. I co-founded WeHostels, a mobile travel agency for young travelers.

We have been selected "High-impact Entrepreneurs" by Endeavor and have been awarded as the "Most Innovative Travel Startup of 2012" by PhocusWright. Entrepreneur Magazine named as among "100 Brilliant Companies of 2012" and the New York Times featured as in their Travel Section.

I like to get involved in entrepreneurial communities, hoping to give more than what I take. I'm a mentor at HubBog and Wayra, and am involved with Startup Chile, General Assembly, Startup Weekend.

I've been invited to speak at conferences such as SXSW, MIT Entrepreneurship Club, Endeavor Talks, Travel 2.0, Forum Internacional Turismo 2.0, Young Leaders Summit PhocusWright Conference, among others. I believe that the raise of Latin America will come through entrepreneurship.

In a previous life I worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and Altran Consulting in Barcelona, and for Pluspetrol in Argentina. I was also an Assistant Professor at Universidad Nacional de Tucuman.

I hold a Masters in Management from La Salle Business School in Barcelona, a B.S. in Business from Universidad Nacional de Tucuman and a Degree in Electronics and Mechanics from Escuela Tecnica Concepcion.

I was born and raised in Argentina and have lived in Spain, France, USA, Chile and Colombia. I traveled to another 25 countries more. I'm passionate about travel, music, technology and innovation. My ultimate goal is to have a positive impact on the world.
