Juan Carlos Guzman

I am a permanent resident of Galapagos islands, with over 15 years’ experience in both nonprofit and public sectors. As Director of Planning and Technical Secretary of the Galapagos Government Council, and later Provincial Director of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, I gained extensive experience in sustainability approaches and planning, the economics of productive systems, public policy advising, and multiple stakeholder dialogue facilitation. In recent years, I have been contracted as an expert consultant with European Union projects; and for leading the economic component of the Galapagos Regional Plan 2030.

Finally, I discovered Theory U in recent years and has become a staunch practitioner, building networks and applying the tools and methods in all projects/actions in which I develop or become involved in.

I am really passionate about Visual Thinking and Graphic Facilitation and I am sure that we can change people’s mindsets using them.
