Justo N. Hidalgo

I am the co-founder and Chief Product Officer at 24symbols. There, I enjoy bringing a mix of product knowledge, business dev and strategy, and travelling around the world talking about the present and future of books. 

I was crazy enough to work on my Ph.D. from the University of A Coruña, Spain, while working in startups, so I'm proud to say I got it! I also hold a B.S. in Computer Science by the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, and have had the immense fortune of receiving training in Product Management, Product Marketing, Innovation and Creativity at the universities of Stanford and Berkeley, CA (2008). 

Since founding a startup is seemingly not enough, I am also  an associate professor at Nebrija University, at its Business School and at its Master´s Degree in Industrial Design, teaching IT Management, Creativity Techniques and Product Strategy and Innovation. Since I have been lucky enough to have interesting experiences in the corporate and startup world, I am also a mentor at Startupbootcamp, a European startup accelerator located in Madrid, Spain.
