My role was key in creating strategic alliances and launching innovative initiatives focused on the development of young talent and continuous training, aligning future capabilities with business needs. Likewise, I led multidisciplinary teams in multicultural environments, managing projects that strengthened Iberdrola's position as a benchmark in employability and an employer of choice internationally.

My early involvement has been key to laying the foundation for solid and scalable growth, driving key decisions in areas such as go-to-market, talent, and strategic alliances.
