Who is Andy Freire?
Andrés "Andy" Freire is an Argentine economist, serial entrepreneur, author, and former public official, recognized as a central figure in the Latin American entrepreneurial ecosystem. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics (magna cum laude) from the University of San Andrés and is an Owner/President Management (OPM) graduate of the prestigious Harvard Business School. His career is based on the conviction that entrepreneurship is the most powerful passport to individual freedom and an essential driver of social change.
His entrepreneurial success began with the co-founding and leadership of Officenet in 1997, alongside Santiago Bilinkis. This company revolutionized the office supply distribution industry in Latin America, becoming a case study in universities worldwide and eventually being acquired by Staples. Following this milestone, he co-founded Axialent, an international consulting firm specializing in organizational culture, and subsequently participated in the creation of other companies such as Restorando and Trocafone, establishing himself as a serial entrepreneur.
Freire's influence extends beyond business; he was recognized by the World Economic Forum as a "Global Leader for Tomorrow" and as "Latin American Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Endeavor Foundation, which also selected him as an Endeavor Entrepreneur. In the public sector, he served as Minister of Modernization, Innovation and Technology and President of the Buenos Aires City Tourism Board (2015-2017), applying the innovative spirit of entrepreneurship to public administration.
In addition to his business and political career, Andy Freire is the author of bestsellers such as *Passion for Entrepreneurship*, *50 Sticks for Entrepreneurs*, and *Free! The Entrepreneurial Path as a Philosophy of Life*. He currently serves as Managing Partner at the SoftBank Latin America Fund, where he continues to drive the growth of high-impact companies. Through his books and speaking engagements, he promotes a culture of ethical leadership, exponential innovation, and the philosophy of using a small portion of one's time to change someone else's life.
