Lorenzo Los Baños is the Founder of The Origin Group International and the author of The Omega Intelligence, a forthcoming book that introduces SQ (Spiritual-Soul Intelligence), AQ (Authenticity, Adaptability, and AI as Actual Intelligence ) and RQ (Resonance Intelligence) to the traditional IQ/EQ framework.

A first-generation Filipino-American raised in Jersey City, Lorenzo spent over a decade as an accountant and later as a financial controller, working with large nonprofits and mission-driven organizations throughout New York City. But behind the spreadsheets and ledgers, he was also navigating a neurodivergent brain — bipolar, ADHD, OCD, and other diagnoses — in systems that weren't built for people like him.

After a series of personal and professional reckonings, including a year of solitude and deep inner work, Lorenzo stepped away from traditional accounting to build something new. The Origin Group International is his answer: a corporate entity rooted in authenticity, alignment, and the belief that systems should serve souls — not the other way around.

Lorenzo is also the founder of The Remembrance Movement, a growing community of healers, misfits, and timeline-runners who are done performing and ready to remember who they were before the world told them to be small.

He has been featured on Substack's Top 100 in Philosophy and has built a following of over 10,000 on Instagram — including politicians, international DJs, bestselling authors, and Fortune 500 executives — by being radically authentic about his life, his diagnoses, and his becoming.

Lorenzo lives in Jersey City, NJ, with his cat & dog, Stella & Sweetheart. He is currently finishing The Omega Intelligence, scheduled for release on May 25, 2026.

Consultora y Mentora en Comunicación Estratégica, Marca Personal y Corporativa | Ayudo a personas y empresas a conectar, posicionarse e influir con impacto | Speaker |CMO

Soy Estratega en comunicación, creación y posicionamiento de marca. Llevo más de 18 años trabajando en contextos donde lo que se dice y cómo se dice influye directamente en decisiones, percepción y resultados.
Con el tiempo entendí que, para comunicarnos mejor, no es suficiente tener un buen mensaje. Sino que este debe que ser comprendido, recordado y generar una reacción.

Por eso decidí ir más allá de la estrategia tradicional y profundizar en cómo funciona la mente cuando interpreta, conecta y decide. Me especialicé en Gerencia de Mercadeo, cursé un Máster en Neuromarketing y actualmente profundizo en Programación Neurolingüística.

He liderado equipos y procesos en áreas de mercadeo, publicidad y comunicaciones en compañías como; Casa Editorial El Tiempo, LATAM Airlines, Tigo y Grupo Bolívar, además de mi trabajo actual como CMOm en JFC Group y mi plataforma Comunicar es Poder.

Integro estrategia y comportamiento humano para trabajar sobre cómo las personas y las organizaciones se posicionan a partir de lo que comunican… incluso cuando no son conscientes de ello.
