About Me

Graduated from HEC Business School in Paris in 2001, I left France almost immediately for what has now become my home town: Barcelona!
I worked 4 years managing strategy and organization projects in hospitals throughout Europe with Antares Consulting (a spanish consulting company specialized in healthcare and social work).
I traveled 6 months in Asia (India, China and Southeast India) and back from there, decided to shift my career towards development.
I then joined Intermon Oxfam (the spanish Oxfam branch) to set up the entire humanitarian action unit. I experienced field work in Ethiopia as Finance and HR Manager of their refugee camp project over there.
Back in Europe, I joined Ashoka France to organize their 30th anniversary in June 2011 and identify social entrepreneurs in affordable housing.
Now I am back in Barcelona setting up the HUB there and programs to empower youth and women around the Mediterranean. I am also VP of W4, a crowdfunding platform of women around the world. OUr objective: develop mentoring programs
