I co-founded the Austin Network of International Impact Professionals - http://www.aniip.org after over a decade working in international conservation and development. Social impact, tech for change, and impact investing are topics of great interest. I like nothing more than to talk about Colombia, and I'm excited to lead a trip there - http://www.traversejourneys.com/colombia and to connect people with opportunities there http://bit.ly/colombiarising. Currently I work as a consultant and have one client in particular that I'd love to talk to people about (AI, machine learning, and more to help stop deforestation and protect land rights in places like the Amazon): http://www.rfcx.org
