Luis García-Baquero Corredera
I began my professional career working as a Data Scientist for 3 and a half years, developing projects based on artificial intelligence aimed at a multitude of areas (energy, aeronautics, health, digital commerce, agriculture...), passing through EDP Renovables, Airbus (its research center in IA from Toulouse), Emergya and a time in which I offered my services as a freelancer, to both national and international clients. After that I decided to make the leap to the technology business side, joining Airbus in the United Kingdom again, this time as Product Manager.
I currently work as an AI Product Manager at Experian in their DataLabs in London, where I am in charge of conceiving new digital products, planning the business strategy behind them, and overseeing their development until they are launched on the market. On the other hand, this year I am a member of the OECD youth advisory council, and I have a technology startup for smart cities, called SingulaCity, with which we are in the final phase of the United Nations Climate Smart Cities Challenge.
On the one hand, completing the Degree in Aerospace Engineering has helped me, much more than with the knowledge acquired, to equip my head and make me capable of facing almost any intellectual challenge that is put before me. I suppose that is why it is often said that engineers are highly valued in any profession, for our ability to learn quickly and solve problems.
On the other hand, the School has given me many opportunities to grow as a person and as a professional, developing what are known as soft skills: task and team management, negotiation skills or dealing with people of all kinds thanks to my time at student delegation and school board; the ability to address business problems quickly thanks to TIMES; a sense of social responsibility in the profession thanks to the engaged engineering classroom; and many other experiences that I do not have space to describe. But above all, thanks to them, I have been able to meet many people who today I consider colleagues or friends.
