My time at ETSI has given me many things, which are still relevant in my life after more than 20 years:

• Multidisciplinary knowledge where the important thing isn't becoming an expert during your studies, but rather learning the tools that will help you continue developing in the future. It's very likely that you'll work in areas where you need to stay up-to-date. The ETSI helped me develop the ability to face any problem without fear of being unable to do so.
• Human relationships: wonderful friends and professionals in different disciplines who are a reference for me. People with whom I share my concerns (both inside and outside the professional sphere) after so much time.

I am currently the Global Babycare Chief Engineer, responsible for Innovation and Project Development for Procter & Gamble's Wipes plants in Spain, Germany, and the United States. I manage the engineering departments for all three plants.
I have been with Procter & Gamble since 2008, holding many different positions throughout my career. I started as a Process Engineer, and have since served as Production Line Manager, Lean Manufacturing Manager, Operations Director, and Supply Chain Director. Some roles were tied to a specific plant, while others were regional (Europe) or global (worldwide), like my most recent position. I have worked in Spain for most of these years, but I also spent three years living in Brussels, Belgium.
Prior to joining Procter & Gamble, I worked for two years as a Process Engineer at the La Rábida refinery (CEPSA) in Huelva, after completing a Master of Science in Petroleum Refining at the French Petroleum Institute (Paris).
