Juan Enriquez
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 7:11PM Juan Enriquez is a businessman/philosopher who works as a genetics & biotechnology venture capitalist. His thinking could be broadly described as libertarian transhumanist — a sort of wet-tech Ray Kurzweil, sans the pseudo-spiritual trappings. I feel that he is one of the great minds of our day.
Juan is the former CEO of Mexico City’s Urban Development Corporation. He served in the Mexican government as Coordinator General of Economic Policy and also as Chief of Staff to Mexico’s Secretary of State. When in Mexican politics, he helped negotiate the cease-fire in Chiapas’ Zapatista rebellion. Today he lives in Boston where he was the Founding Director of Harvard Business School’s Life Sciences Project, and is now both CEO of Biotechonomy and Managing Director of Excel Medical Ventures.
Below I have collected a set of videos from a miscellaneous of speaking engagements by Mr. Enriquez.
Juan has also written two books, As the Future Catches You: How Genomics & Other Forces Are Changing Your Life, Work, Health & Wealth
Juan Enriquez: Mindboggling Science
Juan Enriquez: As The Future Catches You
Juan Enriquez: The Untied States of America
Juan Enriquez: The Financial Crisis
