From the private sector, he leads Improvement & Progress, S.A., where he promotes artificial intelligence as a tool that enhances human potential. His approach combines accelerated digital transformation, data-driven decision-making based on information verified at its source, and a demanding principle: when answers do not exist, experimentation, measurement, and knowledge creation continue until the models work.
