Meet the Collaborators for Interoperability

Founder

Carlos Castaño has spent more than 20 years in marketing, 15 of them in agencies, working on hundreds of campaigns for brands like Dunkin', San Miguel, and more. In 2021 he founded Sendr, now one of Southeast Asia's biggest platforms for the local outdoors and action sports, working with communities to build something lasting outside. He's also the lead developer for Sendr Spots, an app launching this November that maps the Philippine outdoors to open up access, build community support, and grow local tourism. The app is currently available on Beta for the iPhone. Off the desk, he's a certified mountain bike coach and ride guide, a certified scuba diver, and a professional weekender–he’s also co-host of the Right Here, Right Now, a travel and tourism podcast with Denise Haak. If there's a trail, a reef or a road he hasn't been down yet, he's already planning the trip.
