🇪🇸🇬🇧
Founder, CEO, Senior Consultant & Team Coach
I am the director of the Advanced Training Institute (INFOVA) and a professor of Organisational Behaviour.
For the last 24 years I have supported hundreds of professionals from national and multinational companies in their training, in the areas of Employee and Leadership Development, Change Management, Creativity and Innovation, Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Communication.
My passion for sharing knowledge has led me to write the books “Essential Leadership”, “In the Footsteps of Giants: Leadership through History”, “The Managerial Mindset” and “Leadership Quality”. I frequently share my reflections and discoveries in conferences, articles and radio and TV programmes.
In 2007 I created, together with the Infova team, the High-Performance Management Centre “La Arena”, which thousands of professionals enjoy every year.
I have a PhD in Business Science, a degree in Law, a master’s in business management from the University of Houston and Madrid Business School, a Masters in Accounting and Finance, and a Masters in Transpersonal Psychology from IPH. I obtained a research degree in Economics and Business Administration.
Probably in another universe I am a mountaineer and sailor. In the last few years I have enjoyed publishing, with Pedro Ezcurra, the series of directive vignettes “Santis and Q3”.

Head of International Growth, Consultant, Facilitator & Coach
I joined INFOVA permanently in 2021 to lead the international growth and marketing department. Apart from training with our clients, I manage a multidisciplinary remote team.
Before joining INFOVA, I managed a sales and account management team at Reuters news agency in London. And before that, I worked at two start-ups (which are now scale-ups) also in the business development department. In all the companies I have worked in, I have seen the consequences of the lack of soft-skills training. There I developed my interest in training and different team dynamics in the corporate world.
Passionate about human behaviour and what the brain can do, I graduated as a Coach at the Centro de Estudios del Coaching, in Madrid.
Like most of the INFOVA team, I have had a somewhat peculiar life. I have lived in 6 countries, and therefore speak five languages. I have played various roles before moving into the world of training, having spent time in organizations such as Save the Children and the International Criminal Court.
With a degree in International Relations and a specialization in security and defense from EMU and LSE, I wrote my thesis on negotiation techniques and models.
On a personal level, I love learning, cooking and I am an avid reader. In another life I sang jazz and boleros in London bars. I live in Newcastle, UK, from where I manage our projects in Europe. If you can’t find me, I’m probably sitting on a plane to somewhere new!
