From the harsh streets of Hell's Kitchen, New York in the 1970s and 80s, to orchestrating a global education revolution at one of the world’s most important companies - Google, Jaime's journey is a testament to the transformative power of determination, education and the unwavering belief in human potential. For 15 years, as Google's Chief Education Evangelist, Jaime didn't just introduce technology; he ignited a revolution. He wasn't simply deploying tools; he was building bridges to opportunity, scaling a two-person team to a global force of 200, and placing Google’s powerful digital tools into the hands of more than 130 million educators and students around the world, and spearheading the Chromebook revolution reaching 60 million users globally by the time he departed Google in the summer of 2020..

Jaime's vision extended far beyond hardware and software. He understood true innovation lies in cultivating a culture of learning, a principle honed through years at Accenture and applied to giants like American Express, Seagate Technology, and UnitedHealth Group. He recognized that technology is a catalyst, not a cure-all, and that a thriving organizational culture is the bedrock of progress.

His impact resonates in the countless educators who found a lifeline during the 2020 pandemic, in the universities that embraced Google Apps for Education, and in the global digital platforms he helped design. But Jaime's work transcends specific projects. He is a passionate advocate for human skills, recognizing that in an age of AI and automation, our inherent abilities—curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking—are our greatest assets.

Growing up as a first generation American with a single mother on food stamps and welfare amidst despair and violence, Jaime witnessed the power of education to disrupt cycles of poverty. He believes every child, regardless of their background, has the potential to thrive and deserves access to transformative learning experiences. This conviction fuels his work with organizations, where he helps leaders foster cultural environments of continuous learning and innovation.

Jaime is a captivating and thought provoking speaker, a published author, and a stirring photographer. He inspires audiences worldwide with his insights on education, technology, human skills and the future of work. His message is powerful: human potential is exceptional, and you unlock it by cultivating a culture of purpose, autonomy, and mastery.  We can all work and thrive with passion and joy. He challenges us to embrace a human skills first framework, building a future where learning and working is intrinsically motivating and rewarding. He invites us to join him in creating a world where every individual can live their full potential and achieve their dreams. His story is about the relentless pursuit of human flourishing, fueled by the belief that education, hard work, and passion can overcome any adversity.
