Open Green Road and Genomawork

Fabián is a visionary entrepreneur at the forefront of educational and workforce innovation in Latin America. As the Founder of Open Green Road and Genomawork, he has spearheaded initiatives that address significant disparities in both education and employment across the region. Open Green Road is a pivotal e-learning platform that offers comprehensive resources for students facing compulsory standardised school graduation exams in Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. Programmes like PuntajeNacional and AprendoLibre have been instrumental in preparing over 3.5 million students and supporting 85,000 teachers. Its Gradúate.cl programme has empowered an additional 180,000 adults to complete their secondary education and earn their high school diplomas. The organisation’s social impact work extends to providing financial literacy workshops for high school students from underprivileged communities and organising the AprendoEmprendo student entrepreneurship competition. 

Parallel to his work with Open Green Road, Fabián also established Genomawork, a groundbreaking recruitment platform that leverages automation and AI to revolutionise the hiring process across 12 countries in Latin America. Genomawork’s mission is to level the playing field in the job market, ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates. By offering customised solutions, including gamified evaluation processes and AI-driven interview assistants, it facilitates more efficient and unbiased hiring practices.

Fabián’s involvement in the One Young World Summit in Bangkok, 2015, was a turning point, allowing him to engage with young leaders globally and amplify his impact. This experience has been a catalyst, inspiring him to promote his initiatives more effectively and reach a broader audience. Through both of his initiatives, Fabián is making substantial strides towards closing the educational and employment gaps in Latin America. His dual role as a founder highlights his dedication to fostering accessible education and fair employment practices, making a tangible difference in the lives of millions.

“After the Summit, I realised that the way you show others what you're doing is important. One of the key impacts that One Young World has had on our project is this thing about marketing actively, trying to not only do the thing but showing what you're doing. After the Summit, I realised that I have made so much impact, I've impacted so many students, and I’ve also built up my public speaking skills as a result to present this.”
