RIGOR, CREATIVITY AND EXPERIENCE AT YOUR SERVICE
Promoter of entrepreneurship and social innovation with 33 years of international experience
I have been fortunate to have a long career of work and learning in the exciting field of innovation and social entrepreneurship, in various countries across Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Through my professional and academic background, I am a hybrid of the social and business worlds, with extensive experience in innovation and entrepreneurship processes in diverse and multicultural environments.
My main contribution is to increase the social value, methodological rigor, and technical and economic viability of the initiatives. My participation during the design, formulation, implementation, or evaluation phases reinforces the focus on systemic change, incorporates proven methodologies, and systematizes the integration of user perspectives into the processes of exploration, co-creation, prototyping, and experimentation.
I always work as part of a team and try to contribute as much as possible with an entrepreneurial spirit, effort, and professional and personal commitment. I believe I can contribute more because I have held different roles:
- Coordinator of entrepreneurship and social innovation centers (start-up of 7 innovation centers/hubs and strategic design of another 5).
- Developer of methodologies and tools for the management of entrepreneurship and social innovation.
- Facilitator and articulator of social innovation ecosystems with a multi-stakeholder vision.
- Social innovation project manager (Participation in 90 projects in the last 5 years).
- Project formulator for fundraising.
- Professor of entrepreneurship and social innovation (university, business schools, vocational training centers, incubators and innovation centers)
- Social entrepreneur
