I feel both triggered by the urgency to take action for our planet and excited about the potential that businesses can gain from embracing sustainability. Companies are key actors to make sustainability happen. Enterprises of all sizes must act now and anchor sustainability at the heart of their strategy, not only to have a positive impact on society and the environment, but also for them to become resilient on the long term. For this reason, I have become extremely enthusiastic about being part of Finch & Beak and helping companies benefit from embedding sustainability deeply into their core strategies to accelerate their performance and innovation. 

My background:

• Double Master’s degree from ESADE (Spain) and CEMS in International Management 
• Bachelor in International Business Administration from RSM (The Netherlands)
• Internships in marketing at Danone and L’Oréal, and in sustainable finance at the Global Alliance for Banking on Values
• Involved in several student associations: 180 Degrees Consulting, New Generation Consulting, CEMS Club… 
• Fluent in French, English and soon Spanish!

Colleagues would describe me as:
Reliable, driven, diligent, curious and open-minded.

Which book should everybody read:
Sapiens: A brief history of mankind by Yuval Noah Harari – a great read for the curious minds who want to learn about and reflect on the evolution of our species and societies.

Best advice I ever got:
Nothing will work unless you do.

Something surprising about me:
I lived in India for 2 years. 

What I do for fun:

• Exploring new places, discovering new cultures and meeting new people
• Doing outdoor activities, as much in the mountains as in/by the sea
• And more recently with the lockdown restrictions, mostly doing yoga, reading and learning about new things!
