Tu Bio para Malt
Soy fundador y consultor en estrategia y transformación. Más de 11 años diseñando y ejecutando proyectos de datos, analítica e IA para algunas de las empresas más grandes del mundo.
Fundé Bolldr después de liderar transformación digital en Bank Audi (Financial Planning & Analysis), Oracle (consultoría de analítica y data science) y Majid Al Futtaim, uno de los retailers más grandes de Medio Oriente donde fui BI & Insight Manager. También cofundé FitHack, una plataforma wellness impulsada por IA. En ese tiempo diseñé modelos predictivos que identificaron más de €200M en oportunidades comerciales, dashboards ejecutivos en tiempo real que cambiaron cómo se toman decisiones, y automatizaciones que redujeron procesos de semanas a días.
No soy freelancer generalista. Soy estratega de datos con capacidad técnica real (SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, machine learning, arquitectura cloud) y experiencia ejecutiva en organizaciones complejas. He trabajado en retail, banca, oil & gas, manufactura, aviation y wellness. Sé diseñar la estrategia y sé ejecutarla.
Trabajo con empresas de 20-250 empleados que están en ese punto crítico: demasiado grandes para seguir con Excel, demasiado chicas para tener un Chief Data Officer. Les construyo infraestructura de datos que funciona, dashboards estratégicos conectados a sus sistemas reales, automatizaciones con IA que eliminan trabajo manual repetitivo, y roadmaps de digitalización que se ejecutan en trimestres, no en años.
Hablo español, inglés, francés y árabe. MBA Finance, CFA Level 2, Oracle Cloud Architect. Trabajo desde España con clientes activos en Europa y Latinoamérica.
