Bio

I have developed most of my career in Spain and in the United Kingdom, both in the IT/FLOSS sector and in Higher Education. As VP of Open Source Innovation at 🚀 OpenNebula, I deal with strategic collaborations with public cloud and edge providers, other open source initiatives, and development teams from relevant vendors and manufacturers. I coordinate OpenNebula’s participation as a corporate member of the Linux Foundation, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and LF Edge, and of both the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the GAIA-X Association. I am one of the initial promoters of the 🌍 SovereignEdge.EU initiative, coordinating involvement in the Horizon Europe program and in other research and innovation activities such as the IPCEI-CIS and the 🇪🇺 European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud—where I support the role of OpenNebula as chairing company of the Cloud/Edge Working Group while co-leading one of its Task Forces (with a special focus on the European Open Source Ecosystem). I am particularly interested in the conjunction between open source, ethical innovation, and digital sovereignty.
