Business transformation and new business design have been part of my whole business career. New Business development from a global perspective and experience where I have been a creator and builder of startups, successful turnarounds, operational and organization redesigns, market and brand repositioning, and leading change in many international, challenging environments, has provided a real deep value in knowledge and project expertise.

The combination of innovation within ecosystem thinking and the design approach has arrived, capitalizing on the value points of digitalisation combined with technology and human ingenuity
