Academic Credentials

I’m Spanish by nationality, but I grew up partly in the United States and have spent much of my professional life working with American teams, institutions, and business environments, giving me a strong cultural and professional connection to the U.S. I have also been a resident of Spain, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Thailand, experiences that have further shaped my international perspective and cross-cultural understanding.

I currently serve as professor at the Institute for American Universities (IAU). In this role, I regularly teach undergraduate students from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the University of Arizona, Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, and George Washington University. My primary teaching areas are International Business, International Competencies, Strategic Management and Microeconomics.

For more than 16 years, I have taught Business and Economics courses at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I have also lectured at several leading business schools and institutions, including ESIC (Madrid), UPH Executive Education (Jakarta), Kasetsart University, the National Institute of Development Administration (Bangkok), Arcadia University (PA), CIEE, and the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK). Participants in my courses have included (among others) executives and managers from organizations such as Lippo Group, Siloam Hospitals, Starbucks, Huawei, GWM, HSBC, and Aviko.

I am the author of 23+ academic articles in Business Administration and Applied Economics, as well as 5 published books. I am Honorary Global Advisor (HGA) of the Global Academy of Finance and Management. Founder and CEO of SAA Analytics, Director of the Global Competency Research Consortium, and a former executive at Korn Ferry Group (formerly Hay Group).
