How long have you been with Telefónica and what is your assessment of your time here?

I’ve been here for 9 years, I started as a data analyst, and I’ve grown along with our Smart Steps products, and now I’m leading the team in charge of customer deliveries.

Is there a project at Telefónica that you are particularly proud or satisfied with?

I am particularly fond of the tourism projects. When I arrived, the platform was very focused on mobility, and I did the first tourism projects. My first delivery was a pilot for INE, which a few years later became one of our main clients.

What do you think Telefónica has contributed to society?

At different stages it has always allowed society to be united, first with telephone calls and now with the different channels.

Where do you see Telefónica in the future?

Always being a reference and making life easier.

Could you live without a mobile phone?

Ufff I see it as complicated, even though I belong to a generation that grew up without a mobile phone (and although today it may seem impossible, meeting friends was easier) but in day-to-day life applications such as maps, etc. are essential to lead a better life.

Help us solve one of the great enigmas of humanity: the potato omelette… With onion or without onion?

Clearly with onion, well poached, if possible.

Nominate other colleagues to feature in this section

I nominate Ana Maria Lorente Borox, Mar Amenedo Castro, Ana Corral Jodar, Juan Tapia Torán.

They are my team, technically and professionally they are cracks, they always have brilliant solutions to everyday problems. They are a clear example of how teamwork should be, it is very important to have a team in which to work well and in good harmony, and we have it!

In #Thespanishomelettething tag section we interview Telefónica’s employees on a variety of topics, while trying to solve one of humanity’s greatest dilemmas.
