Program Manager @ Universal Diagnostics

At UDX, we fight to make cancer a curable disease by detecting it early.
At Amalgama, we work to create employment committed to the planet.
In my book and newsletter, I share the biggest learnings from the books I have read.

At the age of 23, I founded Amalgama Desarrollo, a consulting firm for social companies in managing human talent. There, I contributed to fundraising efforts, won several social entrepreneurship competitions, and had an impact on the lives of thousands of young individuals.

My specialties include strategy, business development, operational management and fundraising in disruptive technology startups. I also enjoy angel investing and mentoring on personal and professional development.

Double degree in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering from the University of Seville and Politecnico di Milano, graduating with the second-best mechanical engineering curriculum in Spain. MBA from UNIR and Executive Education from INSEAD. Native Spanish, speaking English, Italian, and French fluently.

Member of Nova Talent, Youth Economic Circle, and the Spanish Society of Academic Excellence. Ambassador of the Royal Family of Spain's foundation.

In my personal time, I enjoy reading, a passion from which I founded a newsletter and book club and wrote the book "Life Lessons From A Thousand Books," an Amazon bestseller in two categories.
