About Me
I am Maricruz Sánchez Madrigal, a technology and innovation strategist, Montessori pedagogy specialist, child and adolescent psychologist, holistic therapist, and personal coach. My profile combines strategic vision, innovation, and a human-centered approach to design scalable solutions with meaningful social and educational impact. With extensive experience in EdTech program leadership, digital transformation, and public innovation investment projects, I work alongside government institutions, educational organizations, and strategic stakeholders to transform technology into a catalyst for inclusion, sustainable growth, and long-term community development. A key part of my career has been leading high-impact initiatives focused on women’s empowerment through digital skills, leadership, and innovation, creating pathways for more women to thrive across technology, education, and sustainability ecosystems. My multidisciplinary background also extends to web design and multimedia content development, where I create learning experiences, communication strategies, and digital positioning solutions aligned with institutional and social objectives.
As an independent mentor, I champion digital well-being, technology literacy, online safety, and the development of healthy digital habits from early childhood, contributing to the holistic growth of children, youth, families, and communities. Complementing this work, I actively lead awareness campaigns focused on preventing digital violence against women and girls, helping strengthen a safer, more inclusive, and equitable digital culture. Throughout my career, I have built strong collaborations with strategic partners across Federal and State public sector institutions, as well as leading organizations in the corporate, academic, and social sectors, including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), TikTok, Santander Open Academy, BBVA, EMTECH Institute, Iberoamerican Technology Foundation, CoreGroup Solutions, and diverse media outlets, advancing initiatives in innovation, inclusion, and digital development.
Social Engagement
& Community Impact
My passion for technology, education, and social impact has driven me to actively participate in projects and training initiatives that promote digital literacy, civic awareness, and responsible technology use. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside public servants, educators, legislators, media professionals, business leaders, parents, and students, building a more inclusive and digitally conscious society.
Beyond collaborating on large-scale initiatives, I’ve taken my mission a step further by creating two personal projects that reflect my deepest values and vision:
Interesantic – A platform dedicated to digital well-being and awareness, empowering individuals to navigate technology mindfully and responsibly.
Immarismadrigal – A space designed for holistic well-being, integrating personal growth, emotional balance, and a conscious approach to life.
My main interest is the strengthening of digital skills for the benefit of education and the comprehensive development of the human being for individual and community well-being.
