Alejandro Ramirez de Arellano is an Innovation Fellow at Bucknell University, working to expand the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus. As a Junior at Bucknell University, Alejandro is currently pursuing a five-year dual degree program in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management. Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Alejandro uses his proficiency in English, Spanish, and French to attempt to tackle present-day issues from underrepresented points of view. At Bucknell, his passion for an all-encompassing education across disciplines has led him to co-found the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Affinity Housing Program (E&I) in 2013. As a residentially based program, E&I promotes multidisciplinary interaction that encourages students to discover and create beyond the walls of the classroom, helping them to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
In addition, Alejandro is now working on a start-up after placing second in Bucknell University's "BizPitch14" business pitch competition. He has also taken his passion for entrepreneurship beyond campus by successfully starting an automotive restyling company in Houston, Texas.
