About Fernando

Hello, this is Fernando! I help founders and companies turn complex business challenges into clear strategy and practical action.

I’m a strategy and business development professional with experience in corporate strategy, M&A, private equity advisory, fintech, and digital business models across Spain and international markets.

I’ve worked with organizations such as Western Union, Roland Berger, Monitor Deloitte, PayPal, and UBS, with exposure to strategic planning, market entry, monetization, competitive analysis, and management presentations.

I can support on projects such as:

•Business strategy and market analysis.

•Competitive benchmarking and go-to-market thinking.

•Investor decks, investor materials, business cases, and strategic presentations.

• Research, writing, and synthesis for decision-makers, Boards of Directors, and other executive documents.

•Fintech, payments, and digital business model analysis.

I work well with startups, SMEs, and international teams that need someone who can think clearly, structure problems fast, and deliver high-quality work with minimal supervision.

I’m comfortable working in Spanish, English, and French, and I bring a strong mix of analytical rigor, commercial mindset, and cross-border perspective.

If you need a sharp strategic partner for a one-off project or recurring support, I’d be glad to help.
