Learn & Have Fun

Multitalented professional, with skills ranging business design, strategy, product management, team leadership, design thinking and project management. Open minded, communicative, positive, collaborative.

Started my career at Telefónica, after studying Telco Engineering in Madrid and Berlin. During 10 years, I covered a wide variety of roles there, mainly in Technology, Marketing, and Wayra, Telefónica’s startup accelerator. After this initial period, I joined global strategic design consultancy Designit in 2015, where I was part of the Spain’s management team. After 4 fantastic years there, I joined one of the key clients I was working with, the Global HR team at Santander.

My aim as a professional is twofold:

To help companies realize that traditional business thinking is not enough anymore. That we need to get away from our spreadsheets and slides, go observe the world, meet our customers and understand the human reality behind all those numbers; that we need to work together with our colleagues and partners, break organizational silos and push for the common objectives any company has; that we need to use more the right side of our brain, and leverage our natural creativity. Only then, companies will create meaningful stuff, remain competitive and have a positive impact.

To help create, shape and develop great work cultures. Companies where diverse and multidisciplinary teams collaborate, share knowledge and experiences. Where one can grow, have fun and feel at home. Where people help each other out and care for their wellbeing. Places where people discuss options and make decisions together, instead of giving or following orders. Informal, motivating, challenging, friendly and human work places that inspire a better future of work.

All this, while making friends along the way, enjoying the ride, and learning non-stop 🙂
