Meet Our Team
Our team may be small, but it’s absolutely packed with talent and heart! Each person brings their own unique skills and a shared passion for what we’re building at Yanantin Alpaca.
In Cusco, Peru, we’ve got Silvia, our local manager, with her unstoppable can-do attitude and rock-solid network—she’s a total game-changer for our growth. Nona and Libia, our two talented knitters, create the most stunning, high-quality handmade products that truly capture the spirit of our mission. In Santiago, Chile, Trini works her magic as our branding and marketing guru, making sure the look and feel of Yanantin is as vibrant as our values. And in Tallinn, Estonia, we’ve got a personal network of friends (many from the Social Entrepreneurship Master’s Program at Tallinn University) who help guide and support us every step of the way.
Together, we’re building something that’s not just impactful, but sustainable and full of love!
