I build strategic platforms where intelligence, resilience and decision quality create lasting enterprise value.

For more than two decades, I have operated at the intersection of entrepreneurship, cyber intelligence, innovation, research and executive education. My experience spans senior leadership roles at EY, Banco Santander and Prosegur, giving me a rare perspective across advisory, internal transformation and global cyber intelligence operations. That journey has allowed me to understand how large organizations buy, how they build internally, how they govern risk, and how innovation must prove value under real operational, financial and strategic pressure.

I also founded ventures including Hackdoor and have been building since 2004 in environments where information quality, speed of judgment and operational readiness materially shape outcomes. In parallel, I have contributed across leading academic and executive institutions including ESCP Business School, UNIR, Universidad Europea, CEU San Pablo and Universidad de Alcalá, helping translate complex security and resilience challenges into practical, high-value capabilities.

Today, I am building SmartKEA:

SmartKEA is an interoperable platform for critical, regulated and high-consequence organizations. The ambition is clear: to become the operating layer through which organizations understand exposure, prioritize risk, pressure-test decisions, develop capabilities and strengthen resilience at scale.

That vision is taking shape through a connected product architecture that includes SherlocKEA, RisKea, TreeKea and TrainKEA. SherlocKEA transforms external exposure, third-party, threat and corporate context into actionable intelligence. RisKea turns that visibility into risk operations, executive prioritization and resilience planning. TreeKea delivers adaptive crisis simulation and decision evaluation under pressure. TrainKEA converts those insights into scalable capability development and internal certification. Together, they create a high-value flywheel of visibility, prioritization, testing, learning and measurable improvement.

My focus is to build a company with product depth, modular monetization, recurring value, enterprise relevance, institutional trust and international scale potential. I am particularly interested in conversations with investors, family offices, venture partners, strategic backers and pilot organizations who value category creation, strong founder-market fit, disciplined execution and long-term platform defensibility.
