Armando Regil

I am passionate about life, meeting people, writing, speaking, traveling and making things happen. I studied International Business at Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Economics and Public Policy at Georgetown University. I have participated in the foundation of different organizations empowering leaders and entrepreneurs. I am Founder and President of IPEA - Think Tank (Instituto de Pensamiento Estratégico Ágora), MAPS Academy (Magisterial Academy for Public Service) and One million youth for México (Network). I am an Op-Ed Columnist in El País, El Economista & CNN México and lecturer in Mexico and abroad. I love to motivate (storytelling) and empower people to change the world.

I was the youngest speaker at TEDxDF 2010 where I talked about the revolution of ideas and was honored to be invited again to speak at TEDxMexicoCity 2016 about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the global campaign I started in México City: #LetsBe1One. I was selected among the 50 young leaders (Global Shapers – Davos 50) to participate at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos 2016. I have published two books, La respuesta eres tú (2006), and Un millón de jóvenes por México: Una agenda de libertad y corresponsabilidad (2012).
