Karina Campos Email and Phone Number

I love creating. That passion drives my love for ceramics, led me to study engineering, and inspired me to become an entrepreneur. My goal is to dedicate my life to building and growing companies that generate positive social and environmental impact.I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires and a Master’s in Public Policy from the Hertie School of Governance (Berlin). During more than a decade, I’ve worked for development banks, including the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank, as well as with public sector institutions at both national and subnational levels, focusing on designing and implementing infrastructure and slum upgrading projects.In 2017, I co-founded Nilus (nilus.co), an impact-driven company incubated at Harvard Innovation Labs. Nilus aims to reduce the cost of living for those in poverty by facilitating access to essential goods. We achieve this by bypassing intermediaries, redistributing perfectly edible food that would otherwise be discarded, and implementing community group-buying programs in vulnerable communities in Mexico and Argentina.In 2024, I co-founded Bioplastix, a biotechnology company that is part of the GridX portfolio. Our mission is to revolutionize the future of materials by creating radically better bioplastics. If you're interested in being part of this exciting revolution, don't hesitate to reach out!
