Who I am
The short version
For anyone landing here to check a single fact before writing it down.
The people who actually decide rarely speak for more than three minutes at a time. They appear on a news bulletin, leave a headline and disappear. That asymmetry — whoever has the most to say gets the least room to say it — is what turned into a media outlet.
In 2025 I founded El Diario del Poder with Víctor Hugo Gandarilla. The premise was simple and slightly impertinent: the people who actually decide rarely speak for more than three uninterrupted minutes on television, so there was room to sit with them for an hour and publish all of it.
A year on we have recorded more than forty conversations, we have La Vanguardia as media partner, and monthly reach above half a million. We record on the guest's own ground — Forbes House, the Metropolitano stadium, a foundation's headquarters.
Alongside that I chair Kifaru Club, the leadership community at the University of Navarra's business school — over 500 members — and serve as spokesperson for Lideremos in Navarre and Galicia. I sit on the board of Youth Agenda, launched in Brussels in February 2026, and I have worked as a Talent Agent at Nova Talent on the 111 List of Europe's most promising students.
I study Business Administration alongside a Data Analytics diploma at the University of Navarra, and took an international seminar in data analytics and artificial intelligence at North Carolina State University.
