20+ years shaping narratives for extraordinary brands · Barcelona · Global
For over 20 years I have helped brands, leaders and institutions articulate who they are, why what they do matters, and how they want the world to see them. I do not work in a single sector. I work with organisations and people who operate where poor communication carries a real cost.
What makes my approach different is the full 360° view. A career in creative industries — Guo Pei, Franck Sorbier, Rami Kadi, Yolancris, L'Officiel Baltic, Cannes — combined with 15+ years in complex corporate environments (Naturgy, Dow Chemical) gives me something few consultants can offer: I understand a brand's identity and the organisation behind it. I speak the language of the creative director and the CEO. That changes the quality of the strategic work.
I work with companies and brands that need communications to build lasting reputation, with executives and founders building a personal brand that reflects their genuine authority, and with foundations, institutions and public organisations that need to translate their mission into narrative with real social and cultural impact.

Before talking strategy, we need to talk about relationship — the one you have with yourself. The greatest obstacle to building an authentic personal brand is not a lack of tools. It is the attachment style you have with your own professional identity.
They know their worth. But they need others to confirm it before they can believe it. Their personal brand is built on external validation. They change direction every time they hear a "no".
Constant need for external validation
They have enormous inner clarity. But building a visible professional presence creates a discomfort they cannot name. It is not laziness. It is a fear of claiming the space they deserve.
Fear of claiming their space
They have a thousand facets. All real. All valuable. But without a guiding thread to connect them, their professional identity becomes scattered. Others cannot define them. Worse — neither can they.
Dispersed professional identity
They were not born this way. They built it. They know their value without needing anyone to remind them. They understand what they bring, to whom, and why. Their brand is not a mask — it is an extension of who they already are.
Authentic and coherent personal brand
Who are you when nobody is watching?
