IN SHORT

As CEO of Iluméxico, Manuel Wiechers is leading a dynamic team to illuminate homes throughout rural Mexico using affordable solar energy systems. It is a venture that has allowed him to discover many different aspects of Mexican culture by working with remote communities. It’s also a means for him to exercise his entrepreneurial energy and to contribute to the country he loves, while making a positive impact. “So many people think they can’t do anything to create change, but that’s not true. You just have to find what you love and dedicate your life to it.”
