About

My name is Alvaro Salas. I am 27 years old. I am a father, a husband and a passionate professional who thinks my region and my country needs leaders armed with the best tools to address the problems that threaten democracy.

My career goals are based on mobilizing social change by developing and implementing public policies to address interrelated problems that make Central America the most violent region in the world:

  • The current weak governance structures and lack of specialized human capital
  • An inadequate response to organized crime
  • The large gap in accessibility to education and lack of employment opportunities for new generations
  • Lack of transparency and accountability

I am convinced that the solution is to start from prevention, the creation of legal and public policies to keep children in school instead of applying the “iron fist” policy of coercion which only produces more violence. Progress is fostered through alliances with businesses, governments, and civil sector, while supporting the development projects of the country (such as attracting foreign direct investment in technology and the creation of technological and educational clusters). This will create quality jobs and better opportunities for our new generations.

My belief is an upward spiral of growth, stability and development and in my ability to use my experience and education to make that difference through law, business techniques and policy.

Any questions? If yes, please say something in the comments section.

Bless

  1. Hello Mr Alvaro,
    I was told about you by my senior friend and your classmate Mr Abhinav Pandya,
    Most people think about their career and future at this stage But you think for the betterment of other people which is very commendable.
    Your mission is clear and your ideas to fulfill the mission are also clear which makes you positively different from other people.
    Best wishes
