info_outlineAndres Schabelman was a successful tech entrepreneur, having been one of the first thirty Airbnb employees. He built a notable career helping expand businesses internationally, and that part of his expression culminated with him being on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as the VP of International Expansion at Fiverr when they went public in 2019. He has a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School and a BA from Williams College.
These accolades, among others, matter less to him now than his current dream of showing the magic and power of human connection around the world. Born and raised in New Orleans to Argentine-Jewish parents, surrounded by a broader Colombian-Catholic community in the South, Andres carries with him many identities and cultures. Those identities have allowed him to wear many masks and, as such, he has a keen awareness of how to strip himself down to a core. His story includes being held captive by gorilllas in Columbia and facing a life-threatening situation. This is his first book and attempts to show a possible map of how to get back to the core of what it means to be human. Andres lives in Miami.
