Chilean knocking on the door of innovation
He grew up in Chile, where his family had a minimarket. Rocio Fonseca, SM ’14, was taught that he expected a life limited by his family’s social class. In his early professional years, being the first in his family to go to college, he often encountered cultural barriers in his country’s traditional business environment.
