About Me

I am a young entrepreneur studying BBA at IE University. Since age 15, I have been taken a very active interest and invested in stock market opportunities. Furthermore, I gained additional experience working for three years in Spanish politics and two years as Coordinator of Investor Relations Departments for three mineral exploration companies. Through these experiences, I came to understand the importance of personal branding and online identity. By working in sectors where it is essential for people need to understand the client base and project a professional image. In April 2010, I co-founded Tyba. From the initial stages of the company to now, I have used my wide variety of prior experience and outside knowledge as Director of Business Development.

I am interested in

Racing

I love the sense of speed. Be it in a car or skiing, I just love to push it to the limit and feel the adrenaline.
I am interested in

Skiing

Skiing is for me the most incredible sport. It is a sport where you only focus on perfecting your technique and enjoying nature. You isolate yourself from the world and enjoy speed and fresh air. If you can do it with friends and add the competition factor followed by a nice lunch and/or après-ski with them you get the perfect experience.

Golf

Golf is a sport that requires extremely high concentration in order to perform the perfect swing. It is about perfection, about being able to separate your mind from any thought that is not related to the swing. Only then you are able to progress and lower your handicap. The other beatiful side of golf is that thanks to the handicap system you are able to play with friends with diverse level of skills and have fun, a nice talk and enjoy a walk through the beautiful golf courses together.
