Who we are

As director of the Bankinter Innovation Foundation, I work closely with our Board of Trustees made up of prominent global business leaders, academics, scientists and investors to define the Foundation’s strategic vision and translate it into concrete programmes that promote innovation in Spain. My work focuses on articulating an ecosystem that connects researchers, entrepreneurs, universities, companies and investors, facilitating collaboration and the development of projects that raise the level and impact of innovation in our country.

My background combines experience as a venture capital investor – having led the Foundation’s and Bankinter’s investment programme to promote startups from different sectors and business models – with an international career in technology and telecommunications, developed in companies such as Lucent Technologies, Motorola, BT and the startup Winphoria Networks. This dual perspective allows me to identify real market opportunities and accompany entrepreneurs in the leap from technology to business.

I am a Telecommunications Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and an Executive MBA from IESE. I speak Spanish, English and French, and I am inspired to work in international environments. My motivation is simple: to bring science and technology to the market to generate real economic and social impact.

I am Director of the Future Trends Forum at the Bankinter Innovation Foundation, where I promote the only international and multidisciplinary think tank dedicated to anticipating the trends that will mark the future of innovation. I lead a network of more than 850 global experts in innovation, science, technology and entrepreneurship, forming one of the most influential communities in the analysis of the future.

Under my direction, the Future Trends Forum organizes biannual meetings in which international experts discuss, in a peer-to-peer format, topics that transform society and business models. From these debates emerge conclusions and strategic actions that guide companies, governments and opinion leaders.

My career focuses on connecting expert knowledge with action, fostering collaboration between sectors and promoting a global vision of the future. I am passionate about turning reflection on emerging trends into useful knowledge that inspires decisions and contributes to building a more innovative society prepared for change.

I direct the Akademia and InspiraTech programs at the Bankinter Innovation Foundation. I accompany young university students so that they understand the trends that will mark the future and develop their capacity to innovate, and I collaborate with scientists from different disciplines so that their research becomes solutions with real impact. I am part of the company selection committee of the Cre100do Foundation, where we identify and select companies with high growth potential.

I am a molecular biologist from the University of Santiago de Compostela and I have a Green & Tech Executive MBA from the School of Industrial Organization. I have worked at the Biomedical Research Institute of A Coruña (INIBIC) and in the areas of investment, financing and sustainability at Bankinter. This combination of scientific, technological, and financial experiences defines my understanding of innovation.

I am passionate about continuous learning; I have been part of programs at MIT and Harvard to broaden my vision of innovation, technology, and leadership. I enjoy helping to transform ideas into viable solutions and accompanying those who want to lead that change, connecting people, knowledge and purpose.

At the Bankinter Innovation Foundation, I promote digital strategy and communication with a vision focused on innovation and real impact. My day-to-day is a constant crossover between creativity and analysis: I design and manage campaigns, content and digital channels that seek not only to inform, but to connect and inspire our community.

My journey has been forged at the intersection between agencies, independent projects and communications teams, which has given me a transversal perspective on how brands can evolve and differentiate themselves in a saturated digital environment. I have led branding projects, new brand launches and content strategies for organizations from different sectors.

I am passionate about exploring how technology and creativity can coexist to build relevant messages and memorable experiences. I believe in the power of communication to mobilize people, generate conversation and contribute to a culture of open and collaborative innovation.

My constant challenge: that each digital action adds value, strengthens the Foundation’s identity and helps to anticipate the future from the present.

At the Bankinter Innovation Foundation, I lead the global communication and brand strategy, defining the narrative that connects innovation with people.
My job is to build bridges between what we do and what we share with the world, strengthening the Foundation’s voice to amplify its impact and connect our inner and outer audiences around a common purpose.

I have developed communication strategies and experiences in the financial, social, technological and industrial fields, always with the purpose of generating value and building meaningful links. This trajectory has allowed me to integrate strategic vision and institutional purpose to shape narratives that strengthen the identity of organizations and their relationship with people.

I have a degree in Marketing and Commercial Management and a master’s degree in Photography, a combination that has allowed me to combine strategy, creativity and sensitivity for people in each project I lead.

I believe in purposeful, honest and strategic communication, capable of inspiring dialogue, mobilizing ideas and contributing to building a more innovative, humane and change-aware environment.

Formo parte del equipo del Future Trends Forum, el think tank internacional de la Fundación Innovación Bankinter. Colaboro en la conceptualización, planificación y desarrollo de cada edición del foro, participando en la identificación de expertos globales, la definición de temáticas estratégicas y la elaboración de conclusiones que inspiran reflexión y acción.

Antes de unirme a la Fundación, desarrollé mi carrera en gestión empresarial, trabajando con compañías nacionales e internacionales en su crecimiento, transformación y adaptación a nuevos entornos económicos y tecnológicos. Esa experiencia me enseñó que la innovación no es solo tecnológica, sino también cultural: un proceso de cambio que impulsa la evolución de las organizaciones y de las personas que las integran.

Hoy aplico esa visión estratégica para conectar el conocimiento del Future Trends Forum con la realidad empresarial y social. Creo que innovar es construir el futuro desde el presente, transformando las ideas en oportunidades que mejoren la vida de las personas y fortalezcan la competitividad colectiva.

Desarrollo el Programa Startups en la Fundación Innovación Bankinter donde apoyamos el ecosistema emprendedor en España, acompañando a fundadores en el escalado sostenible de sus proyectos. Mi trabajo busca fortalecer el emprendimiento a través de iniciativas como el Observatorio de Startups, Scaleup Spain Network y los programas de Innovación Abierta Sectorial.

Mi trayectoria profesional incluye experiencia en consultoría estratégica y de negocio en sectores como banca, energía y telecomunicaciones. Esta perspectiva me ha permitido comprender tanto el ecosistema emprendedor como el corporativo, dos mundos diferentes en ritmo y estructura, pero unidos por un mismo propósito: generar valor sostenible.

Creo que corporaciones y startups tienen mucho que aprender mutuamente. Por muy grande o tecnológico que sea un proyecto, siempre hay más conocimiento fuera que dentro, y conectar esos mundos es la clave para acelerar la innovación real.

En el programa Akademia en la Fundación Innovación Bankinter, diseño experiencias formativas que conectan a jóvenes universitarios con las tendencias que transformarán el futuro. Desde la estrategia de contenidos hasta la selección de expertos, busco provocar conversaciones que inspiren nuevas formas de pensar y actuar.

Soy Ingeniera Química por la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela y Máster por la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Antes de incorporarme a la Fundación, trabajé como consultora en estrategia de I+D+i, participando en proyectos de innovación en sectores diversos, lo que me dio una visión transversal sobre cómo se impulsa la innovación dentro de las organizaciones.

Me apasiona crear espacios donde el conocimiento se comparte y las ideas se cruzan. Creo firmemente en el aprendizaje colectivo y en la innovación como herramienta para generar impacto real.
