EDUCATION

I do not come from the real estate world although I have a family background on the field. I received my Engineering degree as Naval Architect and Marine Engineer from the Polytechnic School of Madrid in 1992. Wanting to explore the world and looking for the best, I obtained two additional Master Degrees in Naval Architecture and Material Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Engineering and Project Management baggage gave me the opportunity to start on the Offshore Construction participating in huge projects. In just two years I was nominated as Engineering Manager of the Offshore Division of the Spanish building company Dragados. The construction engineering of two of the key projects for this company was conducted by me: the Snorre B Platform (a 23.000 tons semisub gas platform) and the Oresund Bridge (the connection between Denmark and Sweden via a tunnel, an artificial island and a bridge).

EXPERIENCE
Transitioning from offshore ventures, I returned to my hometown of Marbella to oversee the family business—a real estate group focused on land development in Benahavis. The early 2000s saw remarkable success for our companies. In late 2014, drawn by opportunity and vision, I joined Keller Williams, the world's largest real estate franchise by agent count. Initially, I served both as an agent in KW Marbella and as Regional Director of Growth for Keller Williams Spain. Leading my Real Estate Team to consecutive top rankings in KW Spain from 2015 to 2018, I later restructured the team to align with the MREA models. This journey culminated in the prestigious MREA Award in 2022. Now, with a more organized and growth-oriented team, we're poised for even greater achievements in the future.
