- Amalena is a sustainable luxury brand, using gold mined only from responsible artisanal and small scale mines which use only clean and sustainable extraction techniques – free from mercury, cyanide, and other harsh chemicals.
Amalena involves local goldsmiths in the production of its collection to promote economic development and sustainability in small mining communities.
- Career history / Company history:
- I was born and grew up in Bogotá, Colombia. It wasn’t always easy for my parents to financially support my education, so I was fortunate to finish my studies in economics and start a professional career. I spent five years as a broker in Colombia, analyzing the market and deciding proper investment strategies.
Even though my professional career started in the financial sector, I’ve always been interested in social issues. I made a difficult, but important, decision in my life when I decided to quit my work as a trader in Colombia and move to Austria to continue my academic career. I first got involved in the artisanal and small-scale mining sector through my Master's thesis for my studies in International Business and Law. I conducted my thesis field research in Colombia where I was able to have direct contact with local mining communities. They quickly won my heart, and since then I knew that this was the sector where I was destined to work.
Moving abroad gave me the opportunity for a fresh start. I decided to follow my dreams, and to combine my personal interest in social issues with my academic and professional background. It is my passionate to contribute solutions to social problems and environmental issues through responsible business and international trade. That is how Amalena was born.
