Always open to innovation and new challenges. Currently motivated to embrace changes in logistics and envision the Port of the future to bring it to reality. In January 2021, I was appointed Director of Innovation and Business Strategy at the Port of Barcelona. Previously, I worked as Business Development Director (2010-2020) also at the Port Authority of Barcelona, creating alliances with our clients. I began my career in maritime transport in 1999, working at Transglory, a freight forwarder based in Barcelona (Spain), where I was responsible for developing the network of agents in Asia as Director of Transglory Asia Ltd., based in Hong Kong. I also worked at Portic Barcelona S.A. (Port Community System of the Port of Barcelona) as Sales and Marketing Director. My academic background is in Economics and Executive Education, specializing in Foreign Trade and Logistics. I currently lead the Blue Economy strategy at the Port.
