Convinced of the unlimited possibilities of the combined power of public-private multi stakeholders partnerships and business diplomacy to build more sustainable, democratic and free societies.

Educated in Deusto (Spain), University of Manchester (UK) and Ruhr Universität Bochum (Germany), I have travelled professionally to more than 80 countries the last 20 years. I have worked as a consultant, in public and private institutions, leading international projects funded by the UN, EU, IDB the Government of Spain and the Government of the Basque Country.

Since 2010 I am part of the team that has promoted the University of Deusto as an international knowledge hub to offer postgraduate training in IR and business diplomacy as a value lever for the public and private sectors.
