Greta leads People Powered’s work to grow the collective power of organizations and advocates supporting participatory democracy. She previously served as founder and executive director of Ollin, a Mexican NGO that originally focused on inclusion of youth in the governance of Mexico, and then evolved to take on a broader mission of working toward a country with strong institutions, citizens and democracy. At Ollin, Greta activated thousands of young people to participate in their communities and democracy; supported innovative, large-scale participatory budgeting (PB) programs in several Mexican cities; and coordinated research and monitoring to hold government accountable. In 2019, Greta led and won a legal suit challenging a modification to the Mexico City Citizen Participation Law, which resulted in a new law being enacted. She is part of the Ashoka global network of social entrepreneurs and the BMW Foundation Responsible Leaders network, and is also a Vital Voices lead participant. Greta was awarded the UBS Visionaries prize for social entrepreneurship in 2019. She is a professor at Tec de Monterrey, where she teaches courses on social movements and social project management. Greta is focused on making people fall in love with democracy as a tool for attaining big-picture goals.
