Angela Perez

I am originally from Madrid, Spain and currently work as Chief of Staff to Fred Swaniker, founder and CEO of ALX and The Room. In August, I am starting a new journey in my career and I am moving to Boston to start a masters in international development in Harvard.

I am passionate about education and international development. In my free time, I love to read, listen to music (pretty much anything will do!), playing paddle (Spanish version of tennis) and spending time with my loved ones (always ready for a beer by the sun).

I am always amazed by the bravery of people who embark on an entrepereneurship journey. I am not an entrepreneur myself, but I have started multiple business units and processes from scratch and have gotten a taste of how tough it is. I also believe that entrepreneurship is among the most advanced stage of one’s own development – where you pour all your energy, know-how and skills to bring an idea to life and solve a current problem.
I hope to give back and become a huge cheerleader to one of YEP’s entrepreneurs!
