In 2012, Luis Ruben launched his academic writing career, working for Harvard Medical School and The Gottman Institute. In 2015, he was elected as a co-chair of the Human Rights Campaign and as a member of the board of directors of Integral Care for his role as a game-changer and political influencer in the capital of Texas. He recently launched the global initiative, CCEGL Global to connect the thousands of underrepresented business owners in Europe and Latin America. To date, the initiative has connected owners in 12 major cities across the world, in an effort to provide financial resources, logistics, and representation to both corporate and non-profit organizations.

At the age of 21, Luis Ruben was inspired to make a difference in the world. After graduating with a 1st class BSc (Honors) Degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from St. Edwards University, he began his career in politics and public service. For 3 years, Luis Ruben helped establish the foundation for the fund development arm of Equality Texas.

Wanting to pay forward what he learned from his time in fund development, Luis Ruben began sharing his experiences in foundations and the world's largest corporations including Facebook and Dell. During this time, Luis Ruben recognized the world was changing its view on human rights and joined HRC's team as a membership outreach co-chair to help recruit members to join the historic battle against anti-human rights legislation in the USA.

After starting his first company in 2016 with the goal of sharing wisdom on fund development, the president-elect of Integral Care took notice of Luis Ruben's talent and chose him to be the co-chairman of the Speakers Bureau. During his tenure, he aided in the development and allocation of over $50 million in grants and capital projects to provide housing, mental health care, and job assistance to over 29 million residents of Texas.

He has been invited to be the keynote speaker for sessions about public service, harnessing collaboration, and driving change in New York City, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Mexico City.
