I have worked with IT development with-in the Financial Industry since 1997. I have been coding, all the way back, to before I could proper read and write my native language. I got my first computer a Commodore 64 when I as 10-12, and was introduced to coding be a friend, and for me the magic of coding was much more inspiring than playing games.

I have worked on multiple different platforms. When I started working professionally with IT, it was as a programmer on IBM zOS Mainframe using DB2 and PL/I. Later I transition to Microsoft Windows Back-End development, using C++ and C#, and lately touched on cloud development. During my career I have taking roles like Developer, Business Analyst, Project Coordinator, Project manager, Scrum Master, Product Owner, Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, Facilitator and Department Manager.

VP of Engineering at EMBURSE / CTO at Captio

I'm VP of Engineering at Emburse a large US-based fintech and CTO at Captio (part of the Emburse group). My goal is to transform the product & engineering culture in the whole company while building and scaling the European Hub in Europe.

Previous to that, I've been Head of the new Bumble (Badoo) Hub in Spain, leading the team's construction, growth and improvement and developing its culture and operation model with maximum focus on scalability and product innovation.


For more than 20 years in the digital sector, I have done a lot of different things with multiple roles: from founding my own software company or helping other companies around the world in their tech and organisational transformation, building and growing large product & engineering teams or being CTO for many years in successful scale-ups like Tiendeo.

I love challenging myself and my teams and my favourite way to do this is based on freedom of action but with a strong alignment with practical OKR. After some years I realised we needed another approach, after seeing the same problems and wrong and theoretical approaches too many times: we call it LEAN OKR.


While using it, as well as other Agile practices, with my product & engineering teams, I love teaching this and other topics in many different academies, universities, and events like ESADE, GeeksHub, and others. In 2019 I was part of the CAS19 organization team in Barcelona.
