Pedro Navarro
Product Development Lead
Pedro is based in Yellowknife on Chief Drygeese Territory, the home of the Yellowknives Dene and North Slave Metis.
He first came to Yellowknife in 2012 as an exchange student. After his two-year exchange journey, he went back to his home country, Spain where he completed a diploma in computers and telecommunications and obtained an honors award. Soon after that he completed his bachelor’s degree in computer science.
Pedro has worked as a computer technician, as a business support analyst and, prior to joining EntrepreNorth, as a Junior Software developer in the GNWT. As Product Development Lead, Predo manages the development of EntrepreNorth’s new app tool, which supports Indigenous entrepreneurs and social innovators who want to build and grow sustainable businesses with purpose.
In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and daughter. He enjoys football (i.e soccer), kayaking, fishing and many other activities including his newest hobby, squash. His passion for football has led him to helping coach and refereeing in Yellowknife’s football community. He is a lifelong Real Madrid fan.
He is honoured to be part of the team at EntrepreNorth, and he feels very lucky to be part of assisting in the development of sustainable and impactful businesses throughout the north.
