Perhaps the most important thing about me is that I've always wanted to be an active participant of something greater than myself. I would not get to a peaceful old age if I failed to affect positively in my economic, political or social environment.

It is well known that there are not negligible social, economic, political and environmental challenges in our changing world one increasingly globalized. So there is an imminent need to develop new business approaches and responsible new public. Being a visionary is no longer just an option: it is a necessity of evolution.

So, how can we do this? I believe that the interdisciplinarity education is certainly part of the answer; is the necessary tool to see the new problems as part of its complex contexts and perspectives. That I have been able to learn my studies in law, economics, and management.

There are ways to create sustainable business programs that allow positively contribute to solving deep social problems.

I know It does not sound easy. I also understand that in the world we grew up, sometimes listening to speeches about "social justice" and "social intervention" just seems utopian and impossible... But I also know that Nelson Mandela once said: "Everything seems impossible until it's done", and we are all aware which were the results of that belief.
