Nacho Garcia

I’m an international executive, entrepreneur and advisor with more than 30 years of experience building businesses, developing new markets and navigating technology-driven transformation. I was one of the AI pioneers in early 2000.

My background sits at the intersection of strategy, fintech and payments, AI, international business development and entrepreneurship.

I’ve worked across Europe and internationally with corporates, financial institutions, technology companies and startups, and today I advise senior executives on areas including growth strategy, payments transformation, emerging technologies and market expansion.

My current work at NURABAL puts me directly into conversations around instant payments, A2A, regulation and the emerging impact of agentic AI on financial services, with banking institutions, central banks, payments, technology companies, strategy consulting and many others. I have an IT engineer background too, that allows me to integrate business strategy with deep technology.

What I bring to a board is not only sector expertise, but a combination of strategic perspective and an operator’s mindset. I understand what it means to build something, commercialise it, enter new countries, work with partners and regulators, and make decisions when the answer isn’t obvious.

I’m particularly useful to companies that are scaling internationally, transforming their business model, adopting AI or new technology, entering financial-services or payments ecosystems, or moving from founder-led growth toward a more structured organisation.
