Cesar Del Valle

Born in Mexico City, Cesar was brought up in California and Nayarit. He holds a B.S. in statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, and received an M.B.A. from ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain.  After grad school, Cesar co-founded a social enterprise in India tackling food insecurity in urban slums and scaled operations to Ghana. He is an experienced entrepreneur with a passion for social impact. He was the Director of Growth and Development for the Hult Prize Foundation and opened their Mexico City office as he scaled incubation programs for aspiring social entrepreneurs throughout Mexico and Latin America. Cesar brings his nearly two decades of entrepreneurial, startup, and development experience to Candid, where he is entrusted with overseeing Candid’s Global Partnerships team and scaling the organization's information pipeline internationally. He and his team build, maintain, and establish medium and long-term strategic relationships with philanthropic organizations, governmental agencies, multilateral agencies, and the broader social sector. Cesar is currently focused on the standardization and collection of demographic data for the U.S. social sector and is driven by the opportunity to bring more transparency, measurability, and accountability to the sector, in order to support more equitable grantmaking practices and ensure more impact dollars go to proximate leaders and BIPOC-led organizations. On a personal note, Cesar has an insatiable curiosity for cultures and people. He loves exploring new places and considers himself an adventurer at heart. When not exploring his New York City neighborhood, you can find him dangling off the side of a cliff pursuing his passion for rock climbing.
