With the confluence of three continents — Europe, Latin America, and Africa — in her blood, Maica says bluntly that it would be nonsense to say anything against any other person or group, as she likely would fall into one of those buckets herself. This perspective of inclusivity is central to everything she does.

The Heroikka projects. Create yours

The last day of Americas Summit took place in Runway, an incubator in the same building where the Twitter headquarters are located. It featured special panels and kept the focus on the role of women in technology.

One of the stars was the presentation of Heroikka , an initiative that began little by little and has become the place where there is no shortage of the most relevant female profiles of Silicon Valley.
