I’m a publicist, reconverted and rehabilitated, member of one of the most fun and efficient teams: Global B2B.
I rewrote my history with positions in communication and internal marketing after 15 years as a secretary. Looking for new challenges in my career when you have just found your destiny is not easy, but it is exciting. Now I only look to the future with the certainty of being on the right path. Do you want to join me on the yellow brick road?
During my career at Telefónica, I have accumulated more than 23 years of experience, always driven by my intrapreneurial spirit. My career has been evenly divided between sales areas and what I consider to be the “backstage” of our vendors, covering functions such as training, 1004 traffic management and development of management systems, among others.
I would highlight three significant projects in my career: firstly, I participated in the beginnings of what is now our Brazilian operator. I was also one of the driving forces behind the first convergent customer management system. Currently, I am immersed in the world of complaint management, where we have shown that effective complaint management is a real source of customer loyalty.
I am a person who is fully dedicated to my life, with influences in my family, leisure and professional life. I live intensely, being outgoing, spontaneous and grateful. My positive attitude drives me to seek luck, which I consider to be the result of well-managed probabilities. I enjoy giving inspirational and altruistic talks. In 2022, I was runner-up in the Speaker Talent international public speaking competition. Currently, I give paid talks, the proceeds of which I donate to social projects.
LaRanaGaspar is my life purpose and legacy, inspired by my son Gasparín, born, fulfilled his mission on earth and marched to heaven. It consists of three souls: The Frog (witty and friendly), Me (who gives life to LaRanaGaspar) and Gasparín (the true source of inspiration). Our mission is to contribute to make the world more optimistic (but NOT naive) and more human (but NOT mammalian) by connecting my life with other people’s lives. To learn more about it, I invite you to visit laranagaspar.com and to follow me on all the social networks, where we publish little things to think, act, be more and better people.

Product manager in the areas of New Businesses and IoT and Big Data solutions (NFC, Mobile Payment, Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Electric Vehicle… “distanced” from the traditional business of the group and always focused on new business areas).
I love technology and looking at the sky in my free time, I love getting lost among the stars.
I am Jorge Martínez Nieto, from the IT architecture, technology, planning and engineering department.
I was born in Madrid in 2000, I am quite passionate about technology since I can remember, I like everything in which we can capture our imagination and our ability to solve problems and create new models.
My life and my history is quite short, but I got into technology and computer studies when I was 16, I studied Systems Administration.
Once I finished my studies I started working in a very well known university, IE University, working as a system administrator, also in the resolution of multiple incidences, at the same time I was responsible for a while of the Virtual Reality area.
I am always attentive and I am always looking to learn as much as possible of everything that surrounds me both personally and in the workplace. And now in Telefónica is exactly where I can acquire the knowledge and skills that I want.
I work mainly as Frontend Administrator and Content Manager at www.telefonica.com and www.telefonica.es. I work in the Audience Department of the Corporate Communication Department.
I started 13 years ago with the now buried “El diario”, precursor of the current “Somos”, and the Corporate Intranet, and over the years I became assiduously in charge of the institutional websites and the microsites of the MWC (Mobile World Congress) and the General Meeting of Shareholders.
My name is Jaime and I have been a Galician adopted by Madrid for almost 30 years. I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing and I have been working in support teams of purchasing systems for more than 20 years.
Working in a support team can be very stressful, because you are confronted daily with incidents and problems, but it can also have its positive and rewarding side, if instead of seeing your work from the problem side, you approach it from the solution side.
I like to learn, write and “twist” prompts to generate images with different AIs, although for the last few years my main hobby has been trying to help transform the lives of women in rural communities in north-central Mozambique.
I was born in London to Japanese parents. Educated in England and then in Scotland (Edinburgh University). I am a philologist and historian, and now certified in the fundamentals of ESG accounting and investment.
I have been living in Madrid for 9 years. I currently live with my husband, Javier, and our dog, Taco.
Within Telefónica, I have worked at various companies and departments such as O2 UK, Wayra Global, Investor Relations, M&A and Corporate Development or Sustainability.
Son of Tasio and Ascen, brother of Héctor and Estela, father of Nico and Valeria and travelling companion of Elena, with whom I would share two lives and it still wouldn’t be enough.
I should have been a comic book artist, but I didn’t try hard enough and ended up working in HR, something very fortunate because instead of drawing adventures of heroes and villains, it allows me to live them in my day to day life.
25 years in 4 companies in the Telefonica Group, from a large operation, to a very large one, then to a regional one and finally, in the Corporation. During this time, I have battled against beasts such as performance appraisal, talent identification or engagement studies but my favourite battles were the internal innovation and recognition programmes, diversity&inclusion and the digitalisation of processes.
I am currently in the place where I can best capitalise on this experience; Universitas, Telefónica’s leadership school and considered one of the best corporate universities in the world.
For some time now I have had the urge to write and I have published 4 books in 4 years, which is almost OCD. “Lidera con sentido del humor”, “Divertirse trabajando” (both from Plataforma Editorial), ¨La Llave de Todas las Puertas” (amazon) and “No eres tu trabajo” (Empresa Activa).
For those who are interested, I am a sociologist, MBA and Postgraduate in HR.
I work as Senior Program Manager in the Big Data and AI Technology area at Telefónica Tech, with extensive previous experience in mobile manufacturers (Samsung, Motorola) and other operators. Vocational teacher and mentor in different #womenintech initiatives, I am always looking for ways to improve what we do. I love numbers and music… always singing!
