Summary

A born creative, Alvaro Sabido loves to travel and continuously be learning. His engineering background led him to love anything with an engine, and having worked in a diverse set of companies through consulting, IT, radio and media, he became a natural problem solver, interested in innovating to make things better. When seeing a picture of someone in the military holding a book up to a webcam, attempting to read to their child back home, he set out to create a solution to integrate a video chat and a children’s book – and what would eventually be called Caribu.
