I obtained my M.Sc. degree in Telecommunications Engineering in 2001 and my M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering in 2003. After working as a university professor, an entrepreneur, and some executive roles in large international corporations like HP, Orange, and NTT, I got my International Executive MBA in 2013 from IESE Business School (training lectures in New York, Madrid, Shanghai, and Barcelona) with part of the program attended in CEIBS (China).
 
Distinguished as a Senior Member of IEEE in 2012, the largest engineers’ association worldwide, I am an active member of several committees related to Artificial Intelligence and other topics. Previously, I held the position of Vice President of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society for the Spanish Chapter between 2013 and 2017.

WHAT I DO

Writer, communicator, strategic consultant

When doing research or enjoying spare time to nurture the mind, some people prefer reading to go deeper into details. Others like watching videos to get a straight and fresh perspective within minutes. And others move fast to fetch an advisor or partner to discuss their motivations and ideas personally. What is your personal taste?
