Vanesa Casadas

I have an eclectic working and studies background. I am a Political Science graduate specialized in International Relations. Currently I am finishing my postgraduate on Innovation Management and Economy. I am focusing on Innovation for (financial) inclusion focusing on Africa but I would love to expand my knowledge to Asia and South America and First World 'unbanked' people and in social inclusion in general. I am also interested in ecology, meeting other cultures, responsible consumption and animal rights. I currently work as market intelligence analyst for a big financial corporation focusing on payments innovations. But, previously I held marketing, communications, administrative and financial positions. My hobbies are cooking, I owe a collection of around-the world cooking books, and doing handcrafts. Also, I am the proud friend of an adopted cat from a shelter.
