Our CEO - Julio Lopez
Why are we passionate about k-12 Education? Here's why...
The youngest of four children born to Cuban immigrants, founder, and CEO Julio Lopez grew up in what he describes as “a loving but chaotic home". At the age of 11, due to situations at home, he went to work to help his single mother. He recalls, “Like so many kids who go through his experience, I remember feeling an enormous amount of fear that my mom, my sisters, and I would not have enough to get by. So, I went to work at a local pizzeria. As time passed, I connected with the idea that hard work and education would be my way out. Looking back, I am eternally grateful that I had wonderful teachers, coaches, and teammates who invested their time in me along the way to help me grow."
The “AHA” moment for Julio came while attending Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses course, where he went through the Simon Sinek “Start with WHY” exercise. He shares, “I realized that as a young man, I saw education as MY way out. I then connected that with my “why”; to play a role helping to empower other children find THEIR way.”
