SharpBrains’ Alvaro Fernandez named Young Global Leader by World Economic Forum

Alvaro Fer­nan­dez

Alvaro Fer­nan­dez, Sharp­Brains’ CEO & Co-Founder, has been named a Young Global Leader by the World Eco­nomic Forum (WEF) – an hon­our which recog­nises the most dis­tin­guished young lead­ers under the age of 40 from around the world.

He joins a select forum of global lead­ers, includ­ing Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and Salman Kahn, founder of the Kahn Academy.

Mr. Fer­nan­dez, born in Spain and based in the USA since 1999, was cho­sen from among thou­sands of young lead­ers from across the globe by a selec­tion com­mit­tee com­pris­ing the world’s promi­nent busi­ness lead­ers, politi­cians, and media leaders.

The World Eco­nomic Forum is an inde­pen­dent inter­na­tional organ­i­sa­tion com­mit­ted to improv­ing the state of the world by engag­ing busi­ness, polit­i­cal, aca­d­e­mic and other lead­ers of soci­ety to shape global, regional and indus­try agen­das. The organ­i­sa­tion bestows the hon­our each year to recog­nise the most dis­tin­guished young lead­ers below the age of 40 from around the world. Together the Young Global Lead­ers work to dis­cover inno­v­a­tive solu­tions to today’s most press­ing prob­lems through var­i­ous ini­tia­tives and work­streams, as well as catalysing the next gen­er­a­tion of leaders.

Mr. Fer­nan­dez was selected based on his record of pro­fes­sional accom­plish­ments, com­mit­ment to soci­ety and poten­tial to con­tribute to shap­ing the future of the world through her inspir­ing leadership.
