Andres A.
Engels

I am an engineer and entrepreneur born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico, one of Latin America’s leading industrial and innovative cities. 

Currently I am based in Zurich, Switzerland, where I work at the technology company 1plusX - A TripleLift Company as a Customer Success Engineer. Prior to that I was the COO of Mexicana Lausanne, a fast-casual Mexican restaurant, after having obtained my master in Management, Technology, and Entrepreneurship from EPFL. 

However, for the past 11 years I have been living abroad studying in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Lausanne, while also working across multiple industries including food and beverage, digital marketing, technology startups, venture capital, construction management, and renewable energies.

I have previously founded the young Mexican Entrepreneur Association (AEM Jóvenes) Los Angeles chapter as well as the first-ever edition of TEDxEcublens. I have also been an active member of Toastmasters where I have earned my Competent Communicator certificate and competed at the Division level.

Most recently, I obtained my RYT 200-hour Ashtanga-Vinayasa Yoga Teacher Training certification with All Yoga Training in Bali, Indonesia. When I disconnect from work besides spending time with family and friends you can find me traveling (35+ countries), hiking, skiing, doing yoga, playing soccer, cycling, cooking, or reading.
