Holding spaces for dialogue. Helping us create the future consciously and with intention

Current projects

About me

My vision? A literate society: free, diverse, understanding, conscious, and up to its century’s challenges.

 

My purpose? Discovering what’s needed for people to be the best version of themselves, and make it happen.


My mission is to help envision, build and deploy the paths to a literate society, from scratch.


That kick-started a 10 year career as an impact entrepreneur, working to get citizens nearer decision-makers. Working with national governments in deploying their technology, Quantum and Artificial Intelligence strategies, understanding which direction to go, foreseeing what needs to be done, and executing it. Helping companies create public-private consortia to develop key technologies with societal interests embedded, and uniting NGO’s, international and local institutions under advocacy campaigns to help citizens participate in how their governments tackle their data, their digital rights, and their wellbeing.

A creative and critical thinker trying to widen our perspective of what’s possible, and ask ourselves different questions to achieve a different future, by working in the present. 

Get the details, check the facts

I build things to help us understand and do better.

 

Founded Polity Care (2012), to build bridges between institutions and society, ran out of fuel. Invested it helping grow the United Nations Regional Student Federation into a nation-wide Federation (UNSA Spain) over 2 years of negotiations as Institutional Relations Manager, get a hint of the events we managed to make accessible for everybody.

Co-founded Cámara Cívica (2014), an ever-growing organization dedicated to making complex policy topics easy to understand for citizens, developing a multichannel media presence (radio, online media, tv) of the brand.

Ran the initiatives of Foro United States <> Spain as Program Director (2016), bringing educational opportunities in the United States to more than 2000 young people in 2 years. Making high-level education opportunities accesible for everybody.

 

Founded Mission-Oriented (2020), the first consulting company dedicated to building technology public interest initiatives, and advising on tech strategy, narrative and communication to both companies and governments. A growing team so far achieving 35 global partnerships, helping kick start 2 global public-private missions: global space connectivity (2020) attracting the interest of NASA, JAXA, Blue Origin and SpaceX, and responsible quantum technologies (2021) working with European and Northamerican institutions in earthing down their quantum technologies development roadmaps.

I help create paths for the future. In public policy, private consulting and across the aisle.

Co-created the bases for Spain’s Pro Startup bill and the Start-Up Nation national strategy between 2016 and 2018, co-leading a public affairs team that achieved agreement across the political aisle on startup legislation at the regional and national level, eventually leading to the creation of Spain’s High Level Commisaire for the Entrepreneurial Spain (2018). Update: afterparty collective efforts have led to the approval of Spain’s Start-Up Law in 2022.

Participated in the craft of Digital Spain 2026, Spain’s updated Digital Agenda, which encompasses the ambitious R&D and investment initiatives of the Recovery and Transformation Plan (2021). Participated as an expert in multiple other strategies and initiatives for international organizations such as the Internet Society.

Worked as a lobbyist and public affairs strategist for big tech companies such as Google, Amazon, Uber and Cabify (2016-2021). Edited and co-wrote the Report of governance and public-private principles needed to deploy Internetworking technologies in the Solar System, for the IPNSIG (Internet Society) (2021). Participated in the first global approaches to understand and regulate the deployment of Quantum technologies, with a focus in quantum communications, computation, and the future Quantum Internet (Yale University, 2022).

I create and build to join people together advocating for their pains and needs, pro bono, as long as it feels right and we make it self-sustainable.

Most recent campaigns I’ve directed:

SMART NATIONS AFTER SHOCK (2020 – 2021). Under the auspices of the OECD’s Government After Shock initiative. A six-month long foresight exercise into the future of smart nations and digital public administrations, supervised by the Observatory for Public Sector Innovation (OECD), culminated in a structured dialogue between big tech companies and young leaders with a passion for public service, watch here.

EQUALITY IN THE XXIst CENTURY (2019). The first civic transatlantic debate on “Equality in the XXIst Century” between spanish and north american civil rights activists, institutional representatives and young people (New York University).


IT’s A MATTER OF DATA (2020). Got 5000 young people to participate in the public consultation on the European Data Strategy, relying on partners such as the Open Data Institute and the digital rights association Homo Digitalis. Watch here.


LA CONSULTA QUE SUMA (2018). Helped get 200 youth and minorities to participate in the first public consultation on the Startup Bill (Spain).

 



With a passion to uncover the truth of who we are and how can technology truly serve us, and countless hours invested in Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Information Sciences or Complexity Studies, I help us make sense of the most complex challenges, and orient yourself around what to do, and what’s possible.

You can read me at WIRED Magazine, El Economista, eldiario.es, Telefónica Magazine, The Quantum Insider or Escudo Digital. Watch my interviews in youtube, my conferences over here, or read my public interest technologist profile at the NYU here.

The "torrent of accelerated time without narrative" is disorienting our society and fragmenting community. To crystallise a better future, it's more necessary than ever to make sense of what's going on, build meaning out of it, and intentionally decide where to go, together.

Let’s make your vision a reality!
