Fabiola Prieto

Team Coach Madrid

“I discovered the satisfaction of bringing together a multitude of disparate threads of data and delivering a custom-made product that can be immediately “weared” through the sewing projects I did as a youth with my seamstress mother.

Patterns, threads, models, biases, templates, testing, measurements and precision: all of this comes into play to produce garments, but also to interpret and convert data into reports and business decisions. I am both a numbers person and a creative, and I love contributing my skills to strategies that result in ultimate growth.

LEINN Co-Director

Passionate political scientist and lover of international relations and the defense of human rights; Teamwork, leadership and project management come naturally to him: from a very young age she began to participate and lead social organizations. She has coordinated projects in several countries on citizen participation, gender equality or youth empowerment.

Since its inception in 2007, he has directed the Commons Laboratory at the MediaLab-Prado in Madrid, where he shares his theoretical contributions to the study of the commons, among which stands out having formalized the theory of its four environments consisting of the body, nature , the city and the digital environment. Lafuente defines the commons as “what belongs to everyone and no one at the same time. The commons, in any case, is not definable, because it evokes the existence of very heterogeneous goods that range from the old communal pastures to the new worlds of biodiversity, folklore or gastronomy.

Its intellectual position defends the opening and democratization of knowledge beyond a redoubt reserved for experts. This opening requires a rethinking of policy by implementing solutions that make it difficult to privatize issues such as “the photosynthetic function, the nutrient cycle or the pollination of plants, seeds, ocean floors and aquifers”, and we must take responsibility for the transmission to future generations of the gifts of nature and culture, as well as the reaffirmation of a commitment to the defense of the common good and new heritage.

For Antonio, techno-scientific creations involve an assembly of humans and bots. Part of the trust in social interaction processes is increasingly being ceded to machines and alert systems that use codified and automated procedures. As an example, Lafuente cites Wikipedia, where edits made by bots represent a high percentage of the number of total edits.

He won the 1990 FUNDESCO Essay Award for the book “Navigating through information” and is the author of several electronic books; among them: “By the edge of hypertext” and “The stylists of the technological society.”

He left us on June 4, 2020, at the age of seventy-two, due to COVID-19. He said: “Culture is nothing more than our place in the world.” We will always remember you.

I will be aiming to work in what I believe. I believe the 21st Century is the century where ideas are going to be a tangible asset and crowd creativity will be unleashed. Where sharing would be more important than owning and possessing, where we will all be connected and will contribute to build a better society where women will be equal because we will all be orchestrating impartiality. I Believe in Modern Renaissance. I am passionate for the many things I love.

Professional Goal: make meaningful contributions to the consumer/human experience, the innovation process and the sharing of ideas in order to not waste them along our lives, and at the same time continue my discovery and learning process.Take advantage of new technologies available specially the Internet, crowdsourcing phenomena and social networks.
