Cecilia Pagkalinawan
entrepreneur, Artist, and Filmmaker in Tulum, Mexico.
I am an artist, climate action activist and entrepreneur currently living nomadically exploring our beautiful planet.
I am the founder of Earthlings where we collaborate with climate and impact focused leaders and innovators and provide them with marketing, branding and communications support to fuel their growth.
I am also a regenerative artist who creates art to advocate for the use of clean energy and help remove carbon and from our atmosphere. For Burning Man 2023, I was the lead artist for Sanctuaria, an immersive art installation using BIPV (building integrated photovoltaics) that served as a shelter and sanctuary in the desert powered by solar energy.
I was formerly Director of E-commerce at Burberry and VP of Marketing at Frette & La Perla. I founded venture-backed startups BoutiqueY3k, StyleTrek, and appLOUD. I advise and consult with startups and helped incubate and develop a sustainable brand at Nike's Valiant Labs.
I co-founded Mouse.org, board member of Music Unites and was on the Entrepreneur Board of Andrew Yang's Venture for America and Marketing Advisor for #Yang2020.
I've given talks at Harvard, MIT, Columbia, NYU on entrepreneurship and technology. More recently at Sundance's 2050 House in Park City Utah, I spoke on a panel on “Marketing and Storytelling for the SDGs and Impact.” At Art With Me Festival in Tulum, Mexico in 2020, I was on a panel called “Compassion Warriors" discussing the importance of community, music and dance in mental health and wellness. In 2014 I gave a keynote at MLove Berlin on “Love Empathy and Gratitude in a Connected World" and in 2018 presented at Kinnernet Venice, Italy on the moonshot topic of “Solving the Refugee Crisis." I gave a keynote at Luxury Interactive Conference London and New York and at World E-commerce Summit in Barcelona, Spain on “The Global E-commerce Checklist," at CyFy in Tangiers, Morocco on “Global Crossborder Commerce” and was on a panel on “Innovations for the Sophisticated Global Consumer” at World Footwear Congress in Naples, Italy.
I love to travel, experience other cultures, meditate and do yoga. I also snowboard, mountain bike, swim, dance and frequently attend music & art festivals.
