About
My dad plants trees and saves water,” my 6-year-old son once said at school. Hearing that made me proud not only as a father, but also because it captured, in a simple way, why I chose to work in sustainability.
From automation to INSEAD
Automation and industrial robots got me jumping from car manufacturing to jamon serrano curing factories during my first five years after graduating in Engineering in Spain. In 2007, I obtained an MBA degree from one of the world’s best international business schools, INSEAD, which made me part of an active community aspiring to do big things in life.
My philosophy
Renewables
After INSEAD, I moved into the energy sector, working in renewables consultancy, ESCO business development, and energy efficiency. This path led me to Switzerland in 2013, when I joined Philip Morris International to lead its manufacturing energy-efficiency programme. By introducing energy metering, sharing best practices, and strengthening collaboration across factories, we achieved a 24% reduction in energy consumption by 2015 versus 2010.
Corporate Smart Sustainability
A few years later, I took over PMI’s environmental sustainability programme, helping build its carbon footprint, renewable energy investments and science-based targets. This work contributed to CDP Climate and Water A List recognition and $20M in renewable energy investments.
After PMI, I joined Schindler, where as head of CSO I supported the foundations of its 2030 sustainability strategy. I then moved to Deloitte, advising clients on ESG strategy, CSRD, EU Taxonomy, and climate transition roadmaps. Today, at ACCIONA, I focus on embedding sustainability into strategy, governance and investment decisions, turning commitments into execution and measurable results.
Today, I focus on delivering smart sustainability, turning ambition into business decisions, measurable execution and long-term value creation.

Close-up
What’s next
Reading overwhelming scientific facts about the effect of carbon emission on climate change, I have started a journey to share my experience with other experts, investors, and startups and contribute to accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. As a speaker, I see myself as a facilitator of ideas and a connector.
Me
My work in sustainability competes in energy and time with my other passions: my smart and beautiful wife, our two adorable kids, and racing in mountain bike cross country as a member of the Club du Littoral.
