I have spent my career building businesses, opening markets and turning commercial opportunities into revenue across Europe and international markets.
I have led multi-layer commercial organisations of 20+ people across 20+ countries through Country Managers, local teams and HQ functions, held P&L responsibility above €200M, grown a telecom division from €70M to €220M, negotiated $30M+ commercial agreements and built businesses from the ground up, including an international PPE operation that generated close to €10M in revenue during COVID.
My experience spans telecommunications, technology, international trade, procurement, commodities and new ventures. More recently, I led the repositioning of a legacy trade-intelligence platform towards an AI-native product and commercial model.
I am at my best where something needs to be built, fixed, commercialised or taken into a new market.
Based in Barcelona and working internationally across Spain, Italy, the UK and wider European markets.
