I hold a Bachelor in Economics from University of Barcelona and a Master in Business Administration from IESE. I have over 25 years of experience in management consulting acquired while working at firms like Deloitte (based in New York from 1996 to 2001 and London from 2001 to 2007), Booz Allen Hamilton (based in London from 2007 to 2014) and Kearney (based in Dubai from 2014 to 2019). In late 2019 I decided to retire from consulting, so from 2020 I have been back to Barcelona (where I am originally from) where I lecture on International Economics at the University of Barcelona, I am responsible for economic analysis at FERRMED (a European railway support association) and also vice-president of the Catalan Economy Commission within the Col·legi d'Economistes de Catalunya (Catalan Economists' Association). Throughout the years, and particularly after retiring from consulting in 2020, I have been the author of a number of published papers (some academic and peer reviewed, others published in professional and general-circulation journals) and three books on various topics related to applied economics.
