Integrated into the Digital Marketing and New Channels team, my role consists of preparing reports and market research for the Management Board.

Marketing assistant

I'm a personal development and technology enthusiast, project leader, coach and visual creator.

I define myself as " the energy that connects with you and multiplies your impact." 

After over 15 years in banking transformation, a failed startup and two wonderful kids, I have realized the importance of relationships and people development for the success of any project, professional and personal. 

I strive to develop relationships and teams, building something valuable in every project. 

I often acted as a liaison between the IT team and the business areas, managed complex projects and cross-functional teams, and interacted with top executives and stakeholders. I was integration director during the biggest M&A deal in the financial system in Spain.

I have always been and still am a very action and goal-oriented person, always in motion, always trying to improve everything.

This is what led me to become a co-active coach and a big believer in changing the ways of work for the better.

I am organized, analytical, decisive, and highly autonomous, and developed the skills to be an effective team leader, internal consultant, and change management champion. I have a deep knowledge of performance management, data analytics, MIS, new technologies, and digital transformation projects.

Early in my career I obsessed with building the perfect plan. 

I thought that months of research, detailed mockups, PowerPoint decks, size and resources were a massive advantage.

In reality, they were an anchor.

When I supported my wife with her circular economy startup project I saw how fast you can ship a “good enough” version, getting real customer feedback.

I recently read a quote from Jonathan Escobar’s book Lead to Beat: 'Market power no longer flows from size but from speed.'

I've lived both sides of that equation, and I can’t think of a moment where this is so true, for startups and big companies alike.

Take for example vibe coding: instead of doing mock-ups and presentations, we can build a scrappy working prototype in days, and see how it feels.

We can be learning in days what took months, and imagine if we combine that agility with the resources and scale of a big company.

There is a scary part for big, established players. The legacy, the processes, and “being big” can become a cage. 

But for those willing to embrace it, this change creates the conditions for explosive growth, as speed becomes the new scale.

When was the last time you saw a David beat a Goliath because they were faster?

Grow and learn with me: personal development, leadership, innovation. I am a project leader, coach, and visual creator, and I share all I learn through my posts and newsletter.
