About Chema

I’m a seasoned sales and marketing leader with a passion for driving growth in tech companies, particularly in SaaS and B2B spaces. With over a decade of experience leading sales and product teams, I specialize in bridging the gap between what customers need and what products offer, ensuring companies achieve and exceed their goals.

But my story doesn’t stop at metrics and milestones. I’m equally passionate about fostering mental wellbeing in the workplace. Having personally navigated high-stress environments, I’ve become an advocate for mental health at work, coaching individuals to thrive without burnout and delivering talks on managing stress and impostor syndrome.
