  I am an Industrial Engineer and have a degree in Business Sciences, an MBA, and completed the SAP Consulting Master's program in 2014. Since that year, I have been working at CUVIV Business Services SL. I started as a finance consultant, but shortly after, I joined the company's management team as one of the new partners.

We assist multinational companies with a presence in multiple countries, standing out as experts in localizations, making us the ideal partner for their expansion projects. All of this has also allowed me to expand my knowledge in the SAP world since continuous learning is essential to providing better service to our clients. SAP has undergone technological evolution in recent years, and everyone working in its ecosystem has evolved with it.
