Abad Enriquez
Fostering Innovation,
Spreading Good Vibes
I design, manage, and facilitate programs that help partners solve real problems and innovate with purpose. I’ve led fun and inclusive learning experiences in over 15 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe, guided by the heart, humor, and hospitality that I’ll always credit to being Filipino.
Work With Me
Let’s work together to design programs, workshops, and strategy sessions that make innovation feel human, inclusive, and doable.
I work with organizations of all sizes, from MSMEs and community groups to international organizations and government partners, to design and deliver:
-
Capacity-building programs and design thinking sprints
-
Policy and planning consultations
-
Problem discovery and early-stage business mentoring
-
Innovation, entrepreneurship, and tech for good training
My goal is simple: to hold spaces where people learn by doing, think creatively, and turn ideas into something real (ideally with good coffee and thoughtful snacks).
Growing up in a small town, I never thought I’d get to see the world while doing what I love, so now I try to pass that on by helping others find their own doors to possibility.

"As a teammate [at UNLEASH Global Innovation Lab, Singapore], he excelled at getting everyone to stop yelling and start working together, and he always knew when to crack a joke or bring snacks (skills that are, in my opinion, highly underrated)."
