With a successful career underway, Meneses’s devotion to his roots called him back to Ecuador. He established the first Aerospace Engineering program at the USFQ, Quito. While being a Dean, he also led the Galapagos UAV project. Employing drones to safeguard the Galapagos National Park against illegal poaching. This project was internationally recognized, featuring on the Discovery Channel, and receiving invitations to Stanford University’s Aero Design Seminar.

Pedro obtained an MBA, that served as a springboard into entrepreneurship. He founded Meneses Constructores, a real estate firm, and LAS, which focused on drone development. His entrepreneurial spirit did not stop there; he became an angel investor and founded several companies, such as Construsupply, Trivo, Provemetros, within various sectors.
