About Aldwin

I am a director with over 20 years of experience leading companies and business units in sectors such as real estate, logistics outsourcing, and digital services, with international experience in Spain, Germany, and the United States.

I have held positions as Managing Director and General Director, being directly responsible for results (P&L), commercial growth, business development, and management of multidisciplinary teams. Throughout my career, I have created companies from scratch, scaled operations, optimized processes, and led transformation projects, including digitalization and the development of proprietary tools such as CRM.

In the real estate sector, I have managed a company with a presence in Barcelona and Madrid for over 15 years, handling sales, rentals, renovations, and property management, as well as driving the technological modernization of the business.

My profile combines strategic vision with real execution: business development, client acquisition, contract negotiation, system implementation (ERP/CRM), and profitability improvement. I am particularly oriented towards projects where it is necessary to organize, scale, or transform an operation.

I can bring value in:

General management and operations management
Business development and market entry
Process and profitability optimization
Digitalization and business transformation
Real estate: investment, management, and commercialization

I work with companies that need real management experience to make decisions, structure growth, or professionalize their operations.
