Bio

About

I am Erika Arismendi; entrepreneur, founder and volunteer.

I have experience in 5 different non-profit organizations, contributing to the implementation of different projects for the development of youth leadership in Bolivia.

I founded my first business, RYIM Academy, at the age of 15, which is a venture focused on teaching English online, where I was able to lead my first team. Later I founded Revista Arismendi, where I developed video editing and photography skills.

Currently I am CEO of Ruway, a technological-social venture in the tourism sector. Together with Ruway we managed to win first place in the “Construyendo Iniciativas” contest organized by Fitectur (2022) and third place in the “Entrepreneurship Olympics” organized by the Subo Foundation and Coca Cola Foundation (Bolivia).

Motivation for social impact creation
