Mario Pulido

While I now call Austin home, I was born in Mexico City on October 20th, 1986. I grew up immersed in tennis. While in highschool I decided to shift my energy towards improving the society I was growing up in. I was lucky enough work with a tremendous group of peers who helped me put on the "Conduce con Cuidado" (Drive Carefully) week. It was a great time and the pivot where I realized that with a ton of passion you can leave a dent in society's path. I've never been the same since. I then went to The University of Texas at Austin. In between watching football games, parties and engineering classes, I started honing my passion for start ups and disruptive customer facing projects. You can read more about them in my Projects section. Since I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Mechanical Engineering Degree, I have been a Consultant with Capgemini. At Capgemini, I have been lucky enough to travel over 156,000 miles in 2010, visiting Mumbai Bombay (India), San Francisco (USA), Portland (USA), Singapore (Singapore), Jersey City,(USA), Fort Worth (USA).
