VP Social Impact

Lourdes Amayo

Lourdes is the VP of Social Impact at the FinTech club. While volunteering in Accion Emprendedora, a non-profit organization in Peru that helps low-income entrepreneurs, Lourdes realized that the greatest barrier for the development of an entrepreneur was the lack of access to working capital and to affordable solutions to manage its business monetary transactions. In this experience, she discovered that financial inclusion was a fundamental condition against poverty. She later joined EFL Global, a fintech growing startup that uses psychometrics and behavioral science to create alternative credit risk scores.

She supported financial institutions implement this score to open access to credit to unbanked - underserved segments under a profitable business model. Lourdes is now interested in innovative solutions increasing financial inclusion, especially in the lending and payments space. Lourdes graduated as Industrial and Systems Engineer, worked in management consulting for five years in Peru and then in fintech for two years in several countries in Latam.
