Manuel Ortega Bianchini

What are you doing now?

I am passionate about the world of startups. I am currently a team lead at ProducePay, a fintech that wants to revolutionize the world of agriculture, avoiding intermediaries and giving farmers fairer prices

How has the Fellowship impacted your career?

Vision: Being able to go to such emblematic places with such notable people makes you see everything in a unique way. All the debates, the talks and the anecdotes with Fellows who to this day are friends with whom I continue to talk.

What is your favorite memory of the Fellowship?

The visit to the White House. It was only a few degrees and I had not brought cold clothes. Once inside, seeing all the paintings of the presidents is something so impressive that I will never forget.

If you could have any job in the world, what would you do?

 I would love to be CEO of a company or I have always had the dream of working for a security and intelligence agency.
