About me

… because exploring also means to see ordinary things in a different way.

What’s the reason for this blog (its cause) ? To start, I consider myself very entrepreneurial in my thinking. In some areas, maybe visionary. That is the reason I am here: to show something different to the mainstream, an alternative view on current affairs able to challenge the ‘status quo’. And also because, by sharing my thoughts, I feel freer. If I become, to some extent, influential through this activity, I just hope to help others to feel the same. Why not? Thus, don’t expect to find here what you can read in the newspapers.

To give you a brief idea about me, here you have some information you may consider relevant:

Born in Barcelona, 1972. I grew up in La Coruña, Galicia (Spain). Degree in Law. Member of the Lawyer Office of La Coruña from 1996 to 2006. Post-graduate Program in General Management by the European University of Madrid and Master MSc in Business Development and Innovation by the University of Ulster. Entrepreneurship Program at Babson College – Boston (US). Chief of Expansion in Lidl Supermarkets from 2005 to 2014. Currently, I am a expansion specialist in retail for different store branches and I usually write on economy, management, sociology, politics; human processes in general. I used to be a horse-rider and I live in Madrid alongside my cute two sons.

If you may:

Change a salary for an influential position; an employer for a partner and a mentor; an employment for a suitable platform for learning by doing. And then …, seek the way to spread your genius, to make your talent flourish! Just by aiming a valuable personal goal.

Be open, be respectful, be kind, show genuine interest for the people, but like a little child or like a cat, make the scene always yours. Be the ‘filmmaker’. Be the host. The only main actor of your vital film. Hold the camara and light yourself.
