In short...

I hold an M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering, another M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering, an International Executive MBA, and an M.Sc. in International Trade. I’ve been a university professor, the founder of four startups, and an executive in large international firms. I am a Technology Expert for the European Commission and a Senior Member of IEEE.
 

I have written seven books, five scientific papers, and 60+ others in professional journals and magazines. I have given 100+ keynote conferences.

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.
 
In my daily work, I am proud to count on an excellent team in IA, committed to reaching the best quality and results for our clients. Personalization, transparency, and honesty are values shared by all the people I hire in our company.
