About
My value as an advisor or board member comes from a hybrid profile that combines technology, artificial intelligence, public policy, business development, innovation ecosystems and institutional leadership.
I bring more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of digital transformation, industry, entrepreneurship and public administration. I have worked in technology companies delivering real-time industrial management and Industry 4.0 solutions for international clients, and later led strategic projects in innovation, entrepreneurship, digitalisation and economic development within the public sector. This gives me a practical understanding of both the private sector’s need for execution and growth, and the public sector’s logic of regulation, funding, governance and impact.
As an advisor, I can help companies define their digital and AI strategy, identify new business opportunities, build partnerships, access innovation ecosystems, understand public procurement and funding opportunities, and position themselves in highly regulated or institutionally complex environments. I also bring strong communication, stakeholder management and strategic decision-making skills, developed through senior public roles and political responsibility.
The companies that would benefit most from my expertise are technology firms, AI startups, GovTech and CivicTech companies, smart city and urban innovation businesses, employment and education technology platforms, Industry 4.0 companies, and organisations seeking to scale their impact through collaboration with public institutions. I can be particularly valuable for companies entering the Spanish or European market, companies that need to bridge technology and public policy, or startups that require strategic guidance to move from product to market, from innovation to adoption, and from technical value to institutional credibility.
I offer a board-level perspective that is strategic, practical and impact-oriented: understanding technology, but also understanding people, institutions, cities and markets.
