Adrián Anacleto was interviewed by La Nación, where he revealed his beginnings and his growth mindset in creating one of the most important innovation outsourcing companies in Latin America.
Buenos Aires, May 17 – Adrián Anacleto, CEO and founder of Epidata, a leading company in innovation outsourcing and software development with a presence in Latin America and the USA, granted an interview to the newspaper La Nación. He shared his story of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, which, thanks to his capability and resilience, allowed him to navigate various challenges and seize growth opportunities to develop his technology company.
During the interview, conducted by journalist Gabriela Vigo, Adrián demonstrates his essence linked to his eagerness to progress and grow, which are the foundations of Epidata’s purpose. In the article, he illustrates how public education was a fundamental pillar in his journey towards professional and personal success.
He began working at the age of 10, selling fruit at a market, an experience that taught him the value of hard work from a very young age. Despite not being initially enrolled in high school, he did not let this hinder his education. With the money he earned at a machine shop, he financed a computer course that sparked his passion for technology.
He later enrolled in a night technical school specializing in electronics and robotics. This initial interest eventually led him to buy his first computer, marking the start of his future career in technology.
Finally, Adrián highlighted how the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) played a crucial role in his education. “I enrolled in Exact Sciences where I found the best professors and classmates who taught me to think, learn, and invent,” commented Anacleto, describing how the university opened up new professional and personal opportunities for him.
Six months after graduating, Adrián founded Epidata, a company dedicated to software and application design and development. The company, which started with just three people, now employs more than 600 workers in several countries and specializes in innovation outsourcing. It prides itself on fostering an inclusive work environment where merit and capability are the only criteria for evaluation, promoting a growth DNA that Adrián himself experienced firsthand.
