About

Pragmatism, not hype.

I am COO of Fundamentia, a Spanish AI deep-tech. I run operations, product and the commercial function, with P&L responsibility and a team of around fifteen.

My signature is pragmatism: not every problem needs an LLM. Some need deterministic systems; most enterprise environments need both — and that balance is usually where an AI project succeeds or fails.

I have brought that discipline to demanding environments —most of Spain's largest banks run document operations on SimplÿData, the platform my team built, under GDPR and the EU AI Act— and the same approach works for any company that wants to turn AI into real efficiency.

I have worked in artificial intelligence since 1988. The lexicon has changed several times. The mathematics has not.

What I bring

Four pillars that keep a career steady

I'm a technology executive whose career rests on four pillars —like those that hold up any solid structure, which is exactly what has kept it stable.

  • AI. I've worked with it since the start: a PhD in neural networks long before the hype, and today hands-on with LLMs and agentic development in production.
  • Management. I've led teams from 100-plus people down to a tight team of 15, across seven nationalities.
  • Product. I build products —and, importantly, not always from scratch: often reinventing the ones that already exist.
  • Operations. Industrializing delivery: 100% recurring revenue and quality governed by measurable success ratios.

Those four pillars meet in one place: an executive —a CTO at heart— who connects AI, product and operations.

How I help companies with AI

From the strategic decision to a system that behaves the same on a Monday morning as it did in the demo. I work per project or as a fractional executive.
