QUESTIONS
The formula is not a secret.
The magic is in the chemistry!
A SORT OF LATIN GENGHIS KHANIn a today’s world, you need a global vision and adaptability. I was born and
raised in Mexico until I left my home when I was 16 and spent 12 years
working, studying but above all, living abroad in places like Montreal, Paris,
Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Helsinki, San Juan and Santo Domingo. I learned a
great many deal of things from different cultures and made them my own.
That includes dancing salsa and bachata. Let’s spice things up.
WHY YOU SHOULD PICK MEAll good speakers are experts in their fields, customize their talks, interact with the audience and help
promote the event (or at least they should). Ultimately, it’s their personalities and values that make them
stand out, and here’s why you’ll want to hangout with me before and after the conference:
THE TALENTED MR. VILLASEÑORThroughout my travels, I’ve worked as a cowboy, coal miner, pharmaceutical
salesmen, painter, high school teacher, supermarket merchandiser and
government policy advisor, just to name a few. My greatest learnings from
these experiences were been open-mindedness to new ideas and greater
empathy towards other people.
I’M A GREAT LISTENERThis is probably a weird thing to say for a speaker, but it’s true for me. I like
to listen before I speak and when I do speak, it’s because I have something
important to say. I even listen while I’m talking, reading people’s mood and
adapting accordingly. You can expect pragmatism and straight shooting
from me. Life is too short for monologues. Lets go out and do things.
DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
Ignacio has great knowledge about innovation strategies and methodologies applied to business. We
were very satisfied with his work for KIC InnoEnergy on innovation strategies applied to the coal thermal
electric sector in Spain.
- Mikel Lasa, Managing Director at KIC InnoEnergy Iberia
Sharp, efficient, witty. Ignacio brings the rare combination of highly creative and at the same time
structured mind to every project he deals with. He is straightforward, pragmatic and 100% reliable.
- David Blum, Business Development Manager at Splio
Ignacio demonstrated great ability to convey complex and novel ideas in a comprehensive manner.
- Ivanka Visnjic, Business Models Project Lead at Cambridge Service Alliance and Professor at ESADE
Ignacio is highly creative in the implementation of solutions adequate for the client needs and the project.
- Rafael Ortíz Monsivais, Caribbean Operations Director at the London Consulting Group
Ignacio is an innovator, constantly seeking for creative and challenging solutions and generally thinking
outside the box. He is a fun person and has a sense of humour that creates a work environment of trust
and high productivity
- Fernando de la Vega, Manager at Shell, Dominican Republic
I recommend Ignacio Villaseñor’s conference, since I met him as a speaker at the MarkT Marketing and
Business Symposium, which took place in Monclova, México. I enjoyed his talk about “Personal
Business Model”, given that he touched upon the subject of Personal Branding from an unconventional
angle, he projects his passion on the subject and knowledge about it.
- Miguel Moya, Speaker, Social Media Strategist and Brand Consultant
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME

INVESTMENT
However, I’m open to other arrangements
depending on the ‘ask’, location, and time
requirements. Get in touch and lets discus
s your event needs.
Perhaps you can make me an offer I can’t
refuse!
Q: DO YOU CUSTOMIZE EACH TALK?
A: Most of the content in my talks contain consistent material that has been well-received by the
audiences. However, no two talks are alike. Each talk is customized to meet the specific needs of the
audience and event organizers.
Q: HOW LONG ARE YOUR TALKS?
A: The typical duration ranges between 20 to 60 minutes, including some time for Q&A at the end.
However, I can accommodate shorter TED-style talks of about 10 minutes that are punchy, concise, and
powerful. I also have experience participating in interactive workshops as a moderator, facilitating the
discussion between the participants
Q: HOW LONG DO YOU STICK AROUND?
A: I like to be present both before and after the talk, so as to interact with the audience and fellow
speakers. This enriches the experience for everybody and lets you build stronger connections with the
people you meet. You never know what might come out of a conversation while having coffee.
Q: HOW MANY TALKS DO YOU GIVE EACH YEAR?
A: I am involved in a few ventures, work independently doing consulting for clients, teach marketing and
am constantly taking courses to stay up-to-date with the latest industry and business trends. Therefore, I
typically limit myself to 20 -25 events per year. This way I can focus on only those in which I am most
passionate about and will be able to deliver the greatest value to the audience. So, I recommend
contacting me at least one month in anticipation.
Q: WHAT’S YOUR DELIVERY STYLE?
A: I’m not your typical speaker. I like my presentations to be highly visual (you will likely never see more
than a few lines of text on my slides). I abhor presentations stuffed with bullet point lists. Instead, I follow a
Storytelling approach to engage the audience in a journey and capture their attention from beginning to
end. I strive to strike a balance between being educational, inspirational, actionable and humorous.
FAQs
Q: HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?
A: I’m located near Monterrey, Mexico, but I love travelling, so I will pretty much go anywhere in the world
provided my travel and accommodation expenses are taken care of by the event organizers (business
class for international flights, economy within Mexico and the US).
Q: ARE YOU RIGHT FOR MY AUDIENCE?
A: If you’re reading this, odds are it’s because you were referred to me, saw me speak before or
discovered me through social media. The fact that you’re thinking of inquiring about my speaking services
suggests you believe I will be a good fit with a good message for your audience. Rest assured that I will
diligently study your company, the event’s goal and core audience in order to better understand what’s
required and customize my talk to ensure everyone walks away feeling inspired and smarter than when
they first walked in.
Q: WHAT’S YOUR PERSONAL AGENDA?
A: My main focus is to deliver an inspiring talk and leave the audience with new knowledge and ready for
action. I consider it a success if you succeed and the audience is satisfied. My benefit will come in the form
of referrals.
Q: WILL YOU HELP PROMOTING THE EVENT?
A: Of course! One of the advantages of booking me as your speaker is that I have a vast network
spreading across Latin America, North America and Europe. I have 4 strong “nodes” in my network:
Montreal, Barcelona, Monterrey and Mexico City. My connections range from Top Business Schools
graduates, to Engineering Professionals in the Oil & Gas, Construction and Chemicals industries, to
Management Consultants working with Fortune 500 companies. You can be sure I will spread the message
through my social networks.
