About Juliana Guaqueta
I scale innovative ways to access life-changing education opportunities. To accomplish that, I have developed a career at the intersection of business, finance, education and technology. At IFC, I conduct technical and operational due-diligence for debt and equity education transactions. I also co-lead strategy and investments in global edtech companies. I have formulated investment strategies, and built our advisory services for higher ed. clients on strategic digital transformation (D4TEP) and graduate employability (Vitae). At Coursera, I advised universities and corporations on how to prepare for the future of work, designed future-proof up/reskilling strategies, contributed to strengthen PMF for the C4C product and built curriculum integration models. At the World Bank, I conducted policy research and design focusing on public-private partnerships. I am a frequent speaker in higher education forums (AACSB, UPCEA, NACE, ASEE, IFC) and have publications in diverse media sites including the World Economic Forum and the World Bank Group.
