Gonzalo has an M.A. in economics from George Mason University and a B.A. in economics from the Catholic University of Bolivia. Growing up around the world in Uruguay, Israel, Ecuador, and Bolivia, Gonzalo saw firsthand how poverty and socioeconomic challenges affect individuals and societies. This led him to a lifelong curiosity about what leads people to flourish and achieve their fullest potential. In 2016, Gonzalo pursued his own American Dream and founded the Archbridge Institute, an organization dedicated to removing barriers that prevent individuals across the globe from bettering their lives. In his free time, Gonzalo loves to spend time with his family, read, and watch fútbol (the appropriate name for soccer).
