My organisation
About me
During 15 years, I worked at the Technology Department of one of the top 5 wind turbine manufacturers in different positions related to product design and development, technology development projects management, multicultural teams management, and technical auditing.
In 2014 I foresaw that the circular economy wave was coming and I co-founded Sustainn, one of the first circular economy consultancies in Spain, working since then on guiding organizations towards a circular economy model and a sustainable future through innovation and methodologies and practical tools.
In this time, I have been a Circular Economy & Cradle to Cradle teacher and mentor, giving training to hundreds of people and writing numerous posts & articles about circular economy. Finally, I have just co-written the first circular economy guide for SMEs for AENOR.
I am currently focused on:
• Innovation projects about the development of methodologies and tools to implement circular economy principles
• Design products and services for sustainability and circular economy. Zero-Waste Systems Engineering. Circular Design
• Measuring circular economy and sustainability through Life cycle sustainability-circularity assessments of products and services (LCSA, LCC, LCA, SLCA)
