Meet Me Monday: Sergio Contreras
  1. Introduce yourself shortly.

I’m a 33 years old Mexican entrepreneur, studying for the first semester in MBA in Digital Society.

  1. How did you decide to come and study in Europe?

I was looking forward to being up to date in business model matters in an affordable European country in order to build a startup. While I was doing a research about it, I found out that Estonia is the number one hub for entrepreneurs in Europe and the bureaucracy there works smoothly. Digging deeper, I found out the Estonian Business School has this unique MBA so it made total sense for me to come here.

  1. What’s the biggest difference between Estonia and Mexico?

Of course the population and size of the country, thus it creates a well-organized city like Tallinn whereas Mexico is literally a chaos.

  1. Tell us three facts about yourself.

BALANCE AND CONNECTION SEEKER

PASSIONATE SINGER

TACO LOVER 😉

  1. What’s the best thing you like about Estonia?

The weather …. Just Kidding! The best thing are the people, I found out so far that Estonians are well-educated, highly motivated and willing to share. In addition, they enjoy being great connectors & collaborators.  PS. They do smile and do it a lot. 🙂

  1. Share with us an awkward moment that you have experienced.

Waiting for 20 minutes for the waiter to come and ask for my order in a restaurant until I realized that I had to go up to the till myself. We do have more waiters in Mexico, so it’s not my fault.

  1. If you could be an animal which one would you choose?

A Lion that symbolizes strength and leadership.

  1. If you could own any company of the world which one would you choose?

I would say Virgin Group. That way I could travel to Space with Virgin Galactic and own a private Island.

  1. What are your plans after EBS?

My plans are to continue growing my actual business in Mexico and build a start-up based in Estonia and I expect the latter to be live by the end of my Master degree.

  1. Your favorite quote.

“ A great business is not an extraordinary idea; it is an ordinary idea executed extraordinarily. “
