About Angel

Most ideas don’t fail because of lack of motivation.
They fail because they lack structure, clarity and real economic viability.

That’s where I come in.

I help transform ideas and businesses into clear, structured and executable models, applying real-world risk-based decision making.

I don’t work with theory. I work with decisions that have real impact.

With +14 years of experience in banking (Banco Sabadell) and consulting (Big4), I have worked in environments where mistakes have real consequences:

• Risk management in critical environments
• Evaluation of business viability and resilience
• Oversight of +100 strategic providers
• Implementation of frameworks such as DORA, ISO 27001, ISO 22301
• Reporting to C-level (CISO, executive committees)

Today I apply the same structured thinking to business and entrepreneurship.

I combine analytical thinking with an “out of the box” approach to find solutions that are different, but viable.

What I can help you with:
• Turn your idea into a clear business model
• Validate if your project makes economic sense
• Structure your next steps with a clear roadmap

Ideal clients:
• Early-stage ideas
• Founders without structure
• Businesses stuck or without clarity

If you need clarity, structure and real direction — let’s talk.

Services:
✔ Business Idea Reality Check: I will analyze your business idea and turn it into a structured, viable concept.
✔ Business Structuring Plan: I will build a clear and structured business plan for your idea.
✔ Strategic Advisory: Ongoing support for decision making and business structuring.
