Aaron Joshua Pinto is driven by the pursuit of potential and the intersection of public policy, global affairs, and innovation to solve community challenges.
After a stint in Central Asia, Aaron is now working as a Trade Commissioner in Canada’s International Trade and Investment bureau in New York supporting growing tech startups and SMEs, spanning fields from ICT to fintech to artificial intelligence.
Years of engagement in socioeconomic issues have taken Aaron on deployments from post-Apartheid townships in Cape Town to Ukraine and Malawi’s polling stations all the way to Colombia's hilltop villages.
Aaron's avid interest in global affairs steered him to Central and South America and Canada's Arctic where he partook in trade and development missions. He also led the Canadian G7 youth delegation’s negotiations on the future of work.
Aaron was Canada's Youth Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, is a Queen’s Young Leader, and one of Canada’s 2018 Future Foreign Policymakers.
