My Story

I am an electrical engineer by training, completed my MBA at IESE in Barcelona, and then dedicated my career to customer-facing jobs such as business development, sales, marketing, and customer success (support, documentation, account management). I leverage my love for technology and business to build teams that ensure that customers realize the value of the product. Additionally, I am deeply passionate about climate issues and actively volunteer for organizations like Citizens Climate Lobby and Rewiring America. 

​

Here's a glimpse into my startup journey:

• AXS Telecom was a telecom startup based in France and the UK. I served as General Manager of the new Spanish office. We were later sold to Liberty Surf, an LVMH company.

• IPInfusion built network protocols for switches and routers. I was hired as the VP of Sales and Marketing. IPI was acquired by Access of Japan. 

• I co-founded Accurate Solar Power, a company specializing in power electronics for the solar industry (DC-DC inverters).

• I co-founded Artience Capital Management, a registered independent financial advisor (IRA) company.

• I co-founded Librato, a time series data monitoring SaaS company targeting software developers. We were acquired by SolarWinds in 2015. SolarWinds was taken private by Silverlake and Thoma Bravo and went public again three years later.

• I joined Buildkite.com as employee #20. As VP Customer Success, I helped them double in revenue in two years with 80% of growth coming from existing customers achieving 140% NRR.
