VERONICA JUNA

Soy mamá de Ana Paula y Antonio, y veo el emprendimiento como la actitud necesaria para afrontar los retos de la vida. Soy apasionada del ecosistema de emprendimiento e innovación para el desarrollo de MiPymes, ya que considero que son medios para el crecimiento social y económico que aportan a la riqueza del país y mejoran las condiciones de bienestar de los ecuatorianos.
Me considero una persona orientada al logro, proactiva, honesta y con una gran capacidad de ejecución y de aportar soluciones. Soy apasionada por lo que hago.

Estudios
Estudié Administración de Empresas en la Universidad Central del Ecuador (2007). Soy Especialista en Creación de Empresas (2012) y Magíster en Dirección de Empresas (2014) por la Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador, Quito. Además, obtuve un Máster en Iniciativas Emprendedoras y Desarrollo de Oportunidades de Negocio (2020) de la Universidad de Salamanca en España y un Máster en Emprendedurismo e Innovación Social (2022) de la Universidad de Beira Interior en Portugal.

Experiencia
Tengo más de 15 años de experiencia en el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de MiPymes. He trabajado en el Departamento Comercial de la Embajada de Colombia, Proexport Colombia (2008), y en el Fortalecimiento Microempresarial patrocinado por el Municipio de Quito en los Centros Comerciales del Ahorro (2009). En 2010, trabajé en el Programa Emprende Ecuador como consultora de planes de negocio a través de la potenciadora Marketing Advice. Desde 2013 hasta marzo de 2022, colaboré con Fundación Crisfe para el desarrollo de su eje de emprendimiento, implementando el programa Emprendefe (fondo de capital semilla reembolsable), apoyando el programa de Educación Emprendedora, el proyecto MUYU Centro de Gestión para el Emprendimiento y la creación de su fondo de capital de riesgo FIS (Fondo de Impacto Social).
Desde abril de 2022, soy Responsable de Emprendimiento en la Corporación de Desarrollo Económico de Quito, ConQuito, donde administro el programa Fondo de Capital Semilla de la ciudad, denominado FONQUITO. Para 2024, diseñé el laboratorio de ideas de la ciudad, EmprendeLAB. Desde julio de 2024, soy Coordinadora de Emprendimiento y Desarrollo Empresarial.

Publicaciones
Publiqué el libro “Cómo mejorar el ecosistema emprendedor en Quito,” de la Serie Magister de la Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar (2016). Colaboré en la publicación del Reporte del 2023 del Grupo de Ecosistemas Inteligentes de América Latina – Quito, en colaboración con PRODEM, ConQuito, Biolegal, UASB y AEI.
