About Samuel

I am a Mexican mechatronics engineer who has lived and worked in five different countries while solving complex problems in different industries.

During the last year of my college studies, I had the opportunity to work in the aluminum industry to carry out a vertical integration project that extended to several departments.

After finishing my studies, I moved to the United States to join the supply chain and warehouse automation industry to support the operations of an e-commerce giant.

Moving away from the "Work Hard/Play Hard" lifestyle, after a year of learning, I joined a medium-sized family company, located near Lyon in France, also in the aluminum industry.

When life returned to normal after COVID, I briefly tackled the cold chain warehouse automation industry, then quickly moved into the aerospace industry to advance how an airplane is assembled.

After another career reorientation, I joined an international innovation and engineering consulting firm, specializing in the industrialization of new production lines for the energy distribution market in Europe.

I am currently pursuing an MBA at HEC Paris, one of the best business schools in the world.

Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, playing amateur chess, and traveling.
