TOMÁS POLLAK Chile Co-founder and CEO, Prey @preyproject Through its open-source, multi-platform software, Prey is helping people around the world track down and recover their lost or stolen computers, tablets and mobile phones. Given that the number of mobile phones in Latin America alone is expected to reach 1 billion worldwide by 2015, the opportunity for selling anti-theft software for all digital devices is considerable.

As a digital communication platform and service provider, OTS works with clients from a broad range of industries through local offices in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and the UAE There is nothing virtual about the very real customer service problems that Aivo is helping to solve. At the intersection of technology, linguistics and marketing, Aivo develops virtual customer service agents that intelligently recognize, interpret and respond to written client questions across diverse digital channels. At nearly 80% less cost than their human counterparts, virtual agents are changing the face of the multi-billion dollar customer service industry. AgentBot, Aivo's chat-based virtual agent, differentiates itself with personality and strong linguistic ability in deciphering written Spanish, English and Portuguese across its regional complexity. In 2003 Guibert co-founded Globant, a company that quickly became a global leader in the creation of innovative software products. Just eight years later, Globant boasts 3,200 employees, an entirely fresh approach to the IT services industry, a blue chip customer list and has become a global role model for entrepreneurship. As Globant CTO, he leads the Premier League, an elite group of technology gurus whose main role is to think out of the box for their customers, and Globant Labs, a playground for the exploration of new technologies. When he is not sailing or eating barbecue, Guibert spends his time thinking about the next disruptive project that will shake the IT industry. Guibert is also the Vice President of Endeavor Argentina.
