Felipe Sommer

Founder & COO

NEARPOD

I am the founder and COO at Nearpod, a mobile platform empowering educators to create learning experiences that engage and inspire millions of students around the world. For ten years, I invested my time in management consulting for financial services and start-ups at Accenture. My passion for technology and education fueled my desire to empower teachers and engage students with a mobile platform. In 2012, I founded Nearpod and began an amazing journey in the Edtech space significantly increasing the engagement of millions of students and around the world. I am a philanthropist at heart and I do care about improving the quality of life for others, be it through education, entrepreneurship or community service. Family is my number one priority. I take pride in being an Argentinian, a father of three boys, and a husband to my beautiful wife, Paula. I got an MBA from UC Berkeley. My hobbies include world travel, sports and mentorship.
