I have been with Telefónica for 12 years, during which time I have grown and learned a lot as a person and as a professional. Telefónica allowed me to change and overcome my own barriers, as it allowed me to start a new cycle in the field of telecommunications. And what I value most is the opportunities it has given me to continue adding and contributing to what I like to do, connecting with people and contributing to a more digital world.

I have two stages in my career at Telefónica. The first, when I was a kid just out of high school, was from 1997 to 2002, in Brazil. I returned to Telefónica in 2007 and since 2013 I have been in the Global CTIO in Spain.

Telefónica is a brave company that faces challenges with determination and a lot of success. It constantly renews itself, without fear of the new and demonstrates year after year that it is on the right path. This spirit of facing the new that Telefónica has inspires me, I also seek to face problems with courage, listening to others and taking that little bit longer step that challenges me more.

Riojan by birth; and Madrilenian by adoption and heart.

I have been working on digital projects since 1999 in SEO, Digital Marketing and community management (what are now called social networks).

I lived the golden age of .com and its crash, I’ve been freelance and I’ve worked for agencies and startups of all kinds. I am currently trying to bring this experience to the management of corporate websites and it is proving to be an exciting challenge.

I’ve been with Telefónica since October 2013, more than 10 years now… How quickly time has gone by! And when time passes quickly, it’s because you’ve been doing well.

During these more than 10 years at Telefónica de España, my professional career has revolved around innovation with a focus on different technologies and sectors: fibre optics and voice services (FTTH and IMS), virtualisation of network functions (Telco cloud), 5G, edge computing, connected mobility and Industry 4.0. I certainly can’t complain about the variety of topics I’ve worked on… and the great colleagues I’ve learned from.

In November I will be 11 years old and it seems like yesterday when I decided to change jobs after 18 years in my previous company.

The truth is that my friends often ask me if I regret having changed. The answer is clear. No, I do not regret it. I believe that during these almost 11 years I have had the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally and what is more important, from the first day I started until today, the feeling of pride in working at Telefónica is there. In fact, I think my blood is Telefónica blue.

With a degree in Public Relations, I have been working in corporate communication for more than 15 years. I am passionate about the subject and I always try to be present every day with the novelties of the market, promoting a more inclusive, direct, easy and simple communication for the interlocutors, contributing directly to the image of the organisation.

Today I am responsible for curating information for our artificial intelligence and I have deepened my expertise in data management, to facilitate the decision-making process.

On 20 June 2018 I joined Telefónica Móviles España after working for Telefónica as an external for 18 years. I know it’s going to sound a bit “corny” but since I was a little girl it was a dream I had to fulfil. I had two neighbours at my parents’ house (one in Madrid and the other in the Sierra) who worked for Telefónica, both in very different fields.

I remember how I used to listen to my neighbour Pedro talking to the technicians because there was a switchboard down and they had to solve problems of incommunication for clients and for me it was like the most important thing. And, on the other hand, Jose María was more involved in the technical design of networks and I found everything behind a telephone, a network or even a mobile phone amazing.
