I am Marcos Antil, Guatemalan, Mayan Q'anjob'al, immigrant, family man, tech entrepreneur, founder of the company XumaK in the United States, Colombia and in Guatemala. With clients in more than twenty-five countries, which include companies from the Fortune 500. Born and raised in Santa Eulalia, Huehuetenango, Guatemala; at fourteen I migrated, undocumented, to the U.S.A. unaccompanied by any relative, fleeing the war - just as thousands of children from the region continue attempting today in order to flee poverty, hunger and criminal violence. I went to high school and university in California. I worked as a gardener on weekends, and that is how I found an unexpected link to the technology industry. Taking this path led me to overcome limits that seemed impossible; transforming my reality, that of my family and that of my community.This is my story.
