In Memoriam


In remembrance of our dear AIM2Flourish Professor Consuelo Adelaida Garcia de la Torre, who passed away a few days ago in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, México.

Consuelo was introduced to AIM2Flourish in 2015 during a PRME Global Forum. She published her first stories with MBA students of EGADE, Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey in 2016 and later also with UDEM, Universidad de Monterrey. 

Consuelo was a Flourish Prize Honoree in 2018 with the story New Mindset for Seafood Consumption, and again in 2019 with Improving the Education in Peru. The same year she organized the 2nd AIM2Flourish Latin American Forum in Monterrey. 

In 2020 she participated in the Inaugural Flourish Prize Videos as a Flourish Prize Honoree for two stories:  Empower Women and Increase Productivity in Companies Through Flextime Jobs Opportunities and Pizzeria Making Social Change One Slice at a Time. You can view the video interview of Bolsa Rosa with Consuelo here and the video interview with PIXZA here.

Consuelo was co-professor of her last story published in December 2021, a month before her death for a total of 149 publications

We will remember Consuelo as an amiga, mentora y modelo in the Latinamerican AIM2Flourish community.

She was truly a Pioneer AIM2Flourish Professor.
…..

Durante varios años, tuve el enorme privilegio de compartir con Consuelo muchas ideas, muchos sueños y muchos proyectos y de disfrutar de su compañía en muchos viajes.
 
Cuando la conocí, inmediatamente me contagió con energía y entusiasmo y desde ese momento en Lima, nunca dejamos de trabajar juntos, incluso a la fecha, quedó pendiente el lanzamiento de uno de sus libros y la publicación de uno de sus artículos.
 
Hoy, en medio de una profunda tristeza, por tener que despedirme de Consuelo, me queda el alivio de su generosidad, su alegría, su pasión por la vida, su entrega al trabajo, sus infinitas ganas de conocer el mundo y cambiar, al menos una pequeña parte de él.
 
Adiós querida amiga, te echaremos de menos, pero siempre estarás en nuestros corazones.

Gustavo
