IN SHORT

Mariate’s love for technology is part of what drove her to become CEO for Google Mexico. She sees how technology is changing our world at a rapid pace, and when we use it correctly, it can help us build a better world, and it can help us be better people. If we want to take full advantage of the opportunities that technology provides, only we can make that choice, she says. “You have to follow your passion, be curious, open yourself up to new possibilities, and don’t think you have to live by other people’s rules or expectations.”
