“I believe in making an impact and I dream of creating better and more accessible private healthcare in Mexico.”
Javier will focus on introducing cost-effective clinical medical trials and starting a network of low-cost health care clinics in Mexico where, despite increasing numbers of public hospitals, a large percentage of the population has no access to health care due to geographical isolation, lack of insurance, and disparities of wealth. Prior to his undergraduate studies, Javier spent one year living in an indigenous community in Mexico and saw first-hand the marked inequities in health care services among different populations in Mexico. Javier has since built upon his initial experience with rural and indigenous communities, working as co-founder and former director of Sierra Tarahumara, a non-profit organization that promotes agriculture, education and commercialization projects in rural communities of Mexico. Javier’s professional experience also includes his work as a strategic planning analyst and a project manager with Verzatec, a multi-national manufacturer of aluminum and plastic products and energy conductor and telecommunications towers. In addition, Javier has served as an advisor for social development for the University of Monterrey and the state government of Nuevo Leon and was selected by the Mexican government in 2006 as one of 20 outstanding social leaders.
