  About me

Project manager with more than 13 years of professional experience in design, communication and management, and more than 5 years working in digital and software environments. My profile combines project management, grants, communication, technology and culture, with a cross-functional perspective that allows me to connect planning with execution.

I have been involved in the end-to-end management of projects funded through ACCIÓ and ERDF grants, overseeing budgets, risks, actions, suppliers, and both technical and financial reporting. I also have experience coordinating teams and partners, developing digital projects, and communicating projects to different audiences.

My background in Art History and Cultural Heritage Management, together with my professional experience in technology, UX, communication and management, allows me to work particularly well on projects at the intersection of culture, heritage, innovation, place and digital transformation.

I also currently develop my own cultural projects through Krei24, a non-profit association dedicated to promoting culture and content in Catalan.

Professional objective: to join a cultural organisation, cultural institution, foundation, company or project in Osona where I can contribute my skills in management, project structuring, resource mobilisation, coordination and the development of cultural projects.

— I live in Catalonia

  Work Experience

At Doceo Software, I built the marketing department from scratch: I developed the full marketing plan, refreshed the corporate image after more than ten years, and supported the expansion of our software solutions through design.

Key results:

  • Sustained increase in qualified leads from organic channels and targeted campaigns.
