I’ve never followed a traditional path because I’ve always been more interested in building systems than climbing ladders.


Throughout my career, I have moved across industries and continents, from the Spanish Diplomatic School to international SaaS companies, always with the same goal: turning complexity into clarity.


I studied political economy at LSE and hold degrees in diplomacy, global business, and strategic intelligence.


But credentials alone do not define my edge. What defines it is how I have turned theory into practice, whether leading SaaS customer success teams, designing scalable onboarding and retention plans, or automating CRM systems to optimize customer journeys.


I do not just analyze systems. I build the frameworks that make them smarter and drive sustainable growth.
