I am Spanish based in Dubai, left Spain 15 years ago to travel the world, meet new people, learn about new cultures, markets and businesses to become a global citizen. I love traveling and have had the privilege to visit over 76 countries (don’t ask about my favourites because they all are in a way or another) I’ve lived in 5 cities, was born in Madrid, moved to London, relocated to Dubai where I have spent a significant part of my professional career and had 2 major international assignments in Tokyo and Singapore which tested my limits and helped me grow personally and professionally.

While I started my career in Education, yes that’s right! I wanted to become a teacher, I realised very early on (while in the second year of my Education studies) that Technology was what truly inspired and motivated me.

So, I decided to continue with my Education degree and found a way to continue with my passion in Information Technology. I became an IT Admin at the Faculty where I was studying and signed up to one of the most challenging IT certifications back in the late 90s. The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineering certification. After a year of hard work, many hours a day of study and passing many tests with a 1000/1000 score, I was offered a job as a Microsoft Trainer at one of the most well-known Microsoft Certification Centres in Spain, WinMat.

That was the beginning of something very special, as I started a career in Information Technology while finishing my Bachelor of Education studies. Since then,I’ve been in the Information Technology industry for over 22 years helping customers achieve their Digital Transformation goals by leveraging the power of technology. I’ve been a shareholder and board member (Panorama IT and Nube) a Startup founder (Quest Middle East and Conn3cta) and have a successful track record on a variety of international assignments including senior positions at NetIQ, Quest Software and Microsoft.

I am a trusted leader with experience setting up new companies, teams and running multibillion $ businesses. I have led large organizations with hundreds of sales and technical teams globally distributed. I am actively involved with several Startups, VCs and institutions providing feedback on how new technologies can drive growth while empowering people and organizations on the planet to achieve more.

I love to be part and participate in events, press releases and conferences to speak on a variety of subjects including: Cloud & Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), Metaverse, Web 3.0, Blockchain, FinTech and Cybersecurity.

I love anything that has to do with the universe, coffee and fitness.
