Valeria Casenave

Activist, Athlete, Business leader, Change Agent, Entrepreneur, Environmentalist, Event planner

For over fifteen years, I have been creating experiences and initiatives designed to generate impact and transform realities. My work connects ideas with the audiences that need them, leveraging the potential of social organizations, companies, and public institutions to amplify purposeful messages. Inclusion and equality are at the heart of everything I do. I foster spaces where women and girls gain representation, a voice, and visibility—particularly in sports, a realm I consider pivotal for development, confidence, and leadership. I hold a degree in Business Administration from the University of Buenos Aires and have completed postgraduate studies in International Strategic Storytelling (FLACSO Mexico) and Marketing and Audiences (Tecnológico de Monterrey). I organize TEDx events in Mexico and Argentina and have coached more than 400 speakers—including corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and TEDx presenters—guiding them in transforming their ideas into memorable presentations.

Sports, science, childrens and futures.

Women in sport could shape the future of women.

I discovered TED in 2012 when I was looking for new adventures in Mexico City.

Sports also define who I am. I am a marathoner and long-distance runner, and I am becoming a triathlete. I am passionate about exploring the relationship between body, mind, and high performance. What’s more, I am currently learning to swim—because there are always new ways to push past one's limits. I am the mother of an 11-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter. I am Argentine and have been living in Mexico for 19 years.
