Work with me

How I help.

I work independently — as advisor, interim manager or sparring partner. Usually I’m brought in when something is stuck in the connections: between technologies, partners, markets or people.

Strategic sparring & complex evaluation

When you are too close to a problem to see the structure behind it. I look first at structures, relationships, trust and missing information — then at strategy.

Example: Movie Plus, E-group

Business development & market entry Europe ↔ Latin America

For European technology companies heading to Latin America — and the other way round. With language, culture and a network on the ground, between Barcelona and Bogotá.

Example: KiotSCO, IP500

Partnerships & ecosystems

When what’s missing isn’t a product, but the right network of partners: bringing together compatible technologies, manufacturers, institutions and customers.

Example: BIT Consulting, IP500

Interim & special projects

When a technology company needs someone for a while who translates between business and technology and opens markets.

Example: sensfix (interim VP Business Development)

Smart infrastructure & IoT

Wireless building networks, smart buildings and smart cities, retrofitting, lighting and energy control — buildings and cities that become quieter and smarter.

Example: IP500, KiotSCO, Villavicencio

Technology & AI evaluation

Whether a technology keeps its promise — and whether AI is the answer or just the buzzword. First understand the process, then decide: redesign, automation, AI or an agentic workflow.

Example: ISORYX, Ecopetrol

Automation — advise and deliver

I don’t just say where automation helps — I build it too, on my own and with my partner network: from document and administrative processes to collaboration infrastructure.

Example: Movie Plus

Speaking & executive sessions

Hands-on technology experience, connected with the bigger questions of trust and networks.

Example: keynote “Del IoT a las decisiones cognitivas”, Ecopetrol 2025

Partnerships and pilot projects with: Bosch (SDS) · Ecopetrol · Steinel · Libelium · MICROSENS · ISORYX · IP500 Alliance · Exulu
