Background

About Pablo Rivas

Technological revolution, globalization, and high quality education are the three passions that inspire my professional life. I founded Global Alumni by combining technology and education, with the goal of bringing top-tier postgraduate programs from the world’s most prestigious universities to all professionals in their own languages for the first time in digital and blended learning formats. Earning the trust of universities such as MIT, Esade, the University of Chicago, UCLA, is the result of the hard work of the team of professionals who work alongside me. While studying in the United States at UC Berkeley, Loyola University Chicago, Harvard and after earning my MBA at IESE in Spain, I asked myself the following: Why do professionals need to put their jobs on hold for months in order to enroll in limited, conventional training programs that do not meet the needs of the new digital economy? Why maintain the same learning methodologies? For me, the answer to these questions is Global Alumni. Global Alumni’s mission is educational transformation. As CEO & Founder of Global Alumni, I have tried to put my ideas about entrepreneurship, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and professional excellence—inspired by our slogan “Excellence or nothing”— into practice in every corner of Global Alumni since the company was founded many years ago. I try to spread these ideas beyond the company in different forums around the world, thereby providing others with the knowledge needed for their businesses to thrive in the face of the digital revolution. I think I´m a very lucky person, my job is my passion and my hobby. I really enjoy knowing that we are being part of the transformation of the education sector. I’m always available, but when I’m not working you will find me spending time with my family or my dog, learning about the latest tech devices, or scuba diving. I’m one of those, who believes that to find the best ideas you need to find unique moments out of the office. Excellence or Nothing, that´s it. Pablo.
