Hello, I'm Charvel. I was born and raised in Ecuador. I am passionate about business, architecture, and making a positive impact. I'm a vegan who loves skateboarding and exploring the potential of NFTs.

I've been tackling internet access challenges in emerging countries for over a decade. My path has taken me from working with a local ISP in Ecuador to launching Latin America's first Wi-Fi marketing platform. I've led teams across six countries, connecting millions.

Today, I lead Wayru, aiming to revolutionize internet service in developing urban areas by making it fast, affordable, and accessible. Wayru isn't just an initiative; it's a commitment to decentralizing internet services. Our approach is unique - we empower communities through a decentralized model, leveraging blockchain for secure transactions, rewarding contributors, and offering unique digital ownership via NFTs. My focus is on expanding resilient internet coverage to underserved areas, ensuring everyone has access to the digital world;

'm excited about what the future has for me, looking to be around crypto, DePIN, and decentralized solutions for decades to come and hopefully be part of leveraging blockchain for government systems, using NFTs for social good, and more.
