About Juan Antonio

I leverage my 25+ years of experience in the (re)insurance industry to create and scale SaaS solutions, consulting firms, and insurtech ventures. I specialize in digital transformation, AI, open insurance, embedded insurance, and demand generation, working with B2B and B2B2C models and large transformation and digitization projects.

From the driver seat, successfully launched and scaled business units and start-ups, achieving exits, IPOs, and PE acquisitions, while working for multinational and publicly traded companies, with EMEA and LATAM scope and in four languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English, and French). Share my knowledge and insights as a consultant and lecturer in insurtech programs and as a mentor for start-ups. My goal is to help my shareholders, clients, teams and partners achieve their strategic goals and deliver value to their customers and stakeholders.
