Ep 56. ADRIANA TORTAJADA, 1200 VC - "A true pioneer building entrepreneurship across Latin America"

In this episode, Rob and Ileana are honored to be joined by a truly unique innovator and builder,  Adriana Tortajada, CEO and Managing Partner at 1200.vc. She is a deeply experienced pioneer in the design and launch of public and private programs promoting the entrepreneurial and venture capital ecosystem across the US and Latin American region. Recognized as one of the first female leaders, since the early 2000's, across Latin America, getting her start in Mexico from the earliest days of the regions entrepreneurial economy.  Adriana provides our audience with an in-depth, real time history lesson on the entrepreneurial and venture capital industries in Mexico and the region. Very few people who sat at the tables of "innovation" in 2003, remain as actively involved as she does today. Imagine a world in which Mexico was building some of the first commercialized drones, first electric cars, artificial hearts, first hydro electric power innovations... well, Adriana lived in that world 20 years ago and is still here making things happen in 2022. She uses her uniquely high energy intelligence and storytelling gifts to chronicle the regions growth, which ran parallel to her own career growth from local/regional innovation researcher, to Head of the Federal Government's INADEM (institute for entrepreneurship) , to the Private sector in Spain/LatAm, at Santander X and now in the emerging VC space where next generation family offices meets venture capital.  Come on this ride through LatAm history with us.  Feel free to find out more about her CV, and to follow and engage with ADRIANA here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriana-tortajada-2784869b/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/atortajada?lang=en Website: https://www.twelvehundred.vc We're so grateful to you, our growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors, builders, influencers and those interested in the entrepreneurial economies of Latin America and the under-represented entrepreneurial communities in the USA!
