About me

I am an experienced Independent Board Director and Registered Auditor with over 20 years in banking, real estate, and transformation projects. My career includes senior leadership roles at Banco Popular and Banco Santander, as well as advisory positions in the PropTech and sustainability fields. Today, I serve on several boards, chairing Audit, Risk, and Nomination Committees, and focus particularly on governance, compliance, and ESG integration.

I have co-authored several books on corporate governance, including How to Transform from the Board, and I regularly speak on how boards should approach cybersecurity, sustainability, and digital transformation. My interest is in bridging the gap between technical expertise and board-level supervision, ensuring that cybersecurity is treated not only as an IT matter but as a strategic and governance priority.
