Isabel Oriol Bastos is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head of Business Development at ADA Impacto, a female-founded fintech startup.
Isabel spent 10 years in the social impact sector. She started her career in Brazil and Chile, working at the UN and social startups.

At ADA Impacto, women at the bottom of the pyramid get control over their microcredit. They do this through an AI Chatbot via WhatsApp, where women apply, receive and repay their loan, while partaking in a mentorship program for their business.
ADA launched in Mexico this year and aims to expand across Latin America.
