I am Diego Mauricio Mazo Cuervo, Rector of Institución Universitaria CEIPA in Colombia, where I have led the institution's transformation into an accredited, innovation-driven business school built on challenge-based and transdisciplinary learning. I hold a Doctorate in Global Education from the University of Southern California, with further studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Throughout my career, I have focused on one central question: how higher education must evolve to stay relevant. I pioneered online education in Colombia, learning by doing, and speak frequently on educational innovation and the future of the university. It is a privilege to contribute as a judge in this process.
