Bio

Leader of new team at Moody’s set to explore quantum frontiers My love of technology started early, as I founded 5 companies on my own before the age of 25 (3 of which are still in business today). Over time, I became equally interested in the data that powers technologies. These dual passions ultimately brought me to the leadership role at Acquire Media, which I sold to Moody's Analytics in 2020 after almost two decades as a CTO. I am now the Managing Director in charge of Moody's Analytics Quantum Computing business, after leading Media Solutions where I coordinated a team of data scientists, data modeling strategists and technologists. We build on decades of learnings from artificial intelligence and text-based data processing – blended with financial forecasting and risk assessment models – to surface business insights earlier than traditional data modeling alone. When I'm not striving for data transformation in my job, I'm sharing my experiences and vision with others. I am the Academic Coordinator of the Masters of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence at BTS/University of Barcelona where I also teach several courses and advise on student capstone projects. With an interest in all things having to do with quantum computing, I lead a quantum strategy group to discuss how quantum theory will impact data and data analytics in the foreseeable future. Having lived in 7 countries, and crossed the world several times, I specialize in multicultural environments and am expert in managing remote, diverse teams. I am also an active angel investor in early stage startups focused on deep tech and data. When I am not working, I am an ocean lover and protector, and scuba diving instructor. When all that gives me a breath, I play guitar and drums.
