Fascinated by Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs). A few years ago I moved to IE University (a truly international university based in Madrid) to set up the new IE Sovereign Wealth Research and continue my analysis and generate new projects linked to SWFs. More news, I have been involved in investment intermediation in European transactions in corporates, real estate, hotels, and venture capital. Also, I started activities related to the amazing World of art business (from Picasso to Van Gogh). More details through email.

Time goes by and old and new crisis interrupts our secular search for stability and prosperity. It is a continuous cycle. Nowadays, more than ever maybe, the economic and political arenas overlap continuously. New institutional forms representing these dual natures are SWFs. I finished my PhD on sovereign wealth funds at ESADE Business School and the University of Illinois. The thesis focuses on the influence of SWFs on firms' corporate governance.

I had spent five months at the College of Business at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (IL, USA) under the supervision of Prof. Ruth Aguilera (now at Northeastern University, Boston, MA). My PhD co-advisor was Prof. Javier Santiso (now back to Madrid after a short period in London). I have travelled the World presenting and sharing my research or attending specialized conferences: awesome experiences at the World Bank (DC), Columbia University (NYC), Harvard Business School (MA), Sciences Po and the OECD (Paris), the London School of Economics, Qatar Investment Authority, the Academy of International Business (Vancouver, Canada), or the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (Auckland, New Zealand)... I feel very fortunate of all the experiences, the connections made, the lessons learnt.

Also, I used to be linked to entrepreneurship and venture capital issues in Spain and abroad with the co-creation of the Start Up Spain series (www.start-up-spain.com). I have been also working connecting venture capital firms and startups with SWFs

I love tennis, soccer and music (any kind of good music). I enjoy reading, writing, photography (finally I bought a camera and set up an Instagram profile) and genuine screenplayed movies.
