Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, shaping not just industries but also the way we live, work, and connect with one another. But how do we ensure that people remain at the heart of innovation? How can we bridge the gap between high-tech advancements and real-world impact?

This week on the Julio Verissimo Live Show, we welcome Ignacio Aldama, a Technology Evangelist, mentor, and advocate for human-centered innovation.

🔍 Meet Ignacio Aldama

Born in Spain and a true citizen of the world, Ignacio has spent his career pioneering advancements in networking, virtualization, and emerging tech. But beyond the technical expertise, he is a natural storyteller, making even the most complex concepts accessible to those with no prior background.

His gift for clear communication was honed early—whether explaining enterprise IT infrastructure to corporate executives or breaking down the basics of networking to his grandmother, Ignacio understands that technology only has value when it is understood and embraced by people.

🌍 Having traveled across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, he has encountered diverse perspectives, reinforcing his belief that no single viewpoint holds all the answers. True progress comes from collaboration, curiosity, and adaptability—values that he brings to every discussion.

💡 A Vision Beyond Technology

For Ignacio, technology is more than just innovation—it’s about empowering people and fostering inclusion.

He believes that:
✔ People come first—without them, there are no companies, no communities, no meaningful technological breakthroughs.
✔ Diversity in STEM is essential—the technology shaping the future must reflect all of humanity, which is why he is a strong advocate for encouraging young women to pursue STEM careers.
✔ Giving back is key—every week, Ignacio volunteers his time to mentor students, guiding them through the transition from education to the professional world.

His work with Junior Achievement and the ASTI Tech and Talent Foundation is a testament to his commitment to empowering the next generation and building a future where technology serves everyone, not just a select few.
