Rising junior at Columbia studying Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science  

Hi everyone!! I’m Xio, originally from Peru, and part of the 2026 cohort. I’m currently pursuing the MiM at London Business School as a Laidlaw Scholar. I come from a background in economics and finance, with a focus on analysing companies in Latin America. Through the programme, I’m hoping to broaden my overall business perspective. I’m particularly curious about entrepreneurship and would love to explore that path further. Excited to connect with you all!

I am a senior at Brown University who aspires to learn and grow as a student and person. Through completing an Urban Studies and International & Public Affairs double concentration, I aim to pursue a fulfilling career that works with people and has a positive effect on the global community. Throughout my time at Brown, I have worked with a variety of community organizations, conducted extensive research projects in the humanities and social sciences, and served as a leader in student spaces that mean a lot to me. These experiences have strengthened my communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills, while also allowing me to apply my academic learning to real world scenarios and communities. My interests extend across cities and development broadly, and include human rights, transportation, and cross-cultural relations. I am also passionate about migration, affordable housing, and environmental science. I am an intentional leader who values connecting with and learning from others.
