Fernando Suzuki Email & Phone Number

I had Bitnet. Yeah, I am Gen X.I was the creative for the Internet launching in Latin America. And for the first video sharing app worldwide, when there was no such thing as MP3/MP4. We hacked Sorenson's satellite codecs to compact the videos. But in 1999, the world was not ready for that. Five years later, YouTube was launched.I was Creative Director at Young&Rubicam/WPP, the no. 1 advertising group. And VP at DDB/Omnicom. While I was there, this DDB branch went from 129th to 7th place in the region, and the no. 2 worldwide. Since then, I founded two advertising companies.I idealized the first loyalty program for bicycles, to awards points for every mile you pedal. Then, I was co-founder/CIO of KriptoKard, the first credit card for cryptocurrency. After that, as CIO and Head of Communication, I launched the first digital bank focused on Amazon Rain Forest preservation. I also have launched three cryptocurrencies (ICOs). And I am developing my first personal NFT art collection. I had the privilege of being recognized in some of the most coveted festivals for Creativity and Innovation, like Cannes, NY Festivals, London Awards, Clio Awards, Apple Awards, CCSP, FIAP, Fiabci Paris, and more than 40 others. But who is counting, right?I was speaker for innovation and for smart cities in places like Stanford, Microsoft, AMCHAM, and OBR/RBO at Silicon Valley, among others. And no, I do not do TEDx Talks.I was mentor for hundreds of tech startups. During the Covid lockdown only, I led 3,000 startup accelerations through video/audio platforms, also helping uncountable entrepreneurs in the audience to maintain their sanity and hope. Yes, I saved lives.And disrupting the Bernard Shaw's law that says "those who cannot do, teach", I was also a professor of creativity at the European Centre, professor of MBA in Global Branding at BI World Trade Center, and Founder at MBI, the first Master of Business Innovation school.Recently, I was the first case of EB1-A Visa for Innovation in the US (Green Card for Extraordinary Abilities). I did my own case.Finally, my father's family is from Japan, my mother's family is from Germany, and my wife and son are Spanish. I have German and Brazilian citizenships, did live in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay, and I have lived in the United States for 8 years (actually, I am in Florida, but I think it counts as US, right?). So, besides innovation, entrepreneurism, creativity, and technology, if you also want to talk about multicultural inclusion, speak with me.
