Luis Noriega Tovar - SVL Cultura Ambassador

Luis G. Noriega Tovar is passionate about giving back to his community and being part of a movement that brings about positive change to the world. Growing up undocumented, Luis felt the pressures of being restrained from unleashing his true potential. However, after achieving a 4.0 GPA in community college, transferring to UCLA and eventually graduating with an Economics, Honors degree, he realized that the true limitations were just in his mind.

He also realized that hard work, confidence, and faith will take you a long way; especially after becoming a leader in his teams at Oracle where he did tech Sales & Marketing.  Now, Luis spends his days helping people make massive changes to improve their quality of life through his Life Coaching and Marketing Consulting business. He finally found his true calling after helping several people make massive breakthroughs in their lives & being told that he had an amazing gift of wisdom and deep understanding.

Along with Silicon Valley Latino, Luis truly believes in inspiring young Latin@s and underrepresented communities because there was always people in his life that helped him get to where he’s at today. Now it's time to give back, now it's time for positive and long lasting change.
