Daniela O.

Hi, I’m Daniela. My journey has taken me across countries, industries, and ideas, but at its heart, it has always been about one thing: making an impact.

I grew up in Mexico, but since the age of 15, I’ve been navigating the world in different languages, cultures, and cities. English isn’t my first language, but it has become my bridge to new opportunities, connections, and discoveries.

In 2018, life gave me a challenge that became a turning point. After a devastating earthquake in Mexico, I led a project to rebuild 70 homes in rural and indigenous communities, raising $500,000 to help vulnerable families. That experience shaped my drive to create change—earning me a nomination as an outstanding candidate at the United Nations Youth Assembly.

A year later, I co-founded Ecofye, a platform dedicated to making sustainability accessible for businesses. That same year, I won Lamborghini’s Future FAB Award in sustainability and was granted an entrepreneurship visa by Imperial College London. As I continued to push for innovation in climate and business, I was also awarded an Innovate UK grant, further fueling my work in sustainable solutions.

But beyond all the milestones, titles, and achievements, my story is about progress, not perfection. It’s about learning, evolving, and embracing the adventure—whether that means skating through London’s parks on a sunny day or diving into a new challenge.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: take it one day at a time.
