Ed Celis

I’m a seasoned serial entrepreneur and growth strategist shaped by “successful exits, strategic pivots, and high-stakes execution.” My journey began in journalism and editorial leadership, then I transitioned into the European startup ecosystem—bootstrapping and exiting my first venture—before expanding into global technology transfer and boardroom-level storytelling.

As Director Mexico & Partner at Norvana, I lead Mexican operations and regional expansion for an “AI-assisted health management solution inspired by Scandinavian design.” I run a “modular, multi-language framework” for global deployment and integrate national health infrastructure—implementing AI modules that automate 95% of “pattern recognition and clinical documentation” while protecting “total patient data sovereignty” under NOM-004, NOM-024, HIPAA, and GDPR standards.

As Founder & CEO of Zere.io, I pivoted from a nature-based platform into a “high-efficiency Waste-to-Energy-to-Restoration engine” that turns waste and wastewater into energy and clean water for human use. I scale proprietary modular technology through an exclusive commercial partnership model, funding “biodiversity protection and reforestation” and addressing resource competition in energy-intensive sectors like AI.

Earlier, I founded and managed hypurist, scaling over $3.5M USD in sales in 24 months while navigating international trade and regulatory pressure during global supply chain disruption. I’ve also worked as a growth strategist bridging European firms with North American investors, combining tech investment strategy, asset acquisitions, app design, and digital security with the narrative mastery I honed as an actor and producer.
