My conviction: the value of connecting companies and people

 

My work is my vocation: make communication between people and company flow. I have been doing this for more than three decades.

With the knowledge and experience I have acquired for more than thirty years, I help companies, large and small, to create, develop, and implement the internal communication strategies and plans they need. With this valuable tool, companies grow, achieve successful business results, enjoy a good brand reputation, and attract the best talent.

Does your company want to reach these milestones? I can help you.

More than 20 years dedicated to this mission at HP

For more than 20 years I have worked for HP as Public Affairs & Communications Manager at its International Center in Barcelona. I was one of the forerunners of internal communication when this concept didn’t have a name yet, creating the first HP plan where we made management aware of the benefits of maintaining transparent, direct, and frequent communication with people.

I was at the forefront of creating, and supporting, different activities within the company focused on promoting connection, a sense of belonging, and positive social impact. . Actions such as Charity Day, where we collected more than €700,000; the Women Network aimed at enhancing women’s professional careers and ensuring their participation in decision-making spaces; initiatives to encourage girls’ interest in engineering careers; and fostering a culture of innovation among people in any department, generating new ideas to change processes and businesses.

I was also at the forefront of the communication and integration of the corporate culture of several company acquisitions performed by one of HP’s international businesses.

All these activities made HP’s International Center in Barcelona become a reference inside and outside the company at a global level, appearing prominently in various national rankings on the best companies to work for.

During this professional stage, representing HP, I was an active member of the boards and executive commissions of various entities such as theFundació Catalunya Cultura, Sant Cugat Empresarial, Respon.cat, Clúster Hábitat and BCD.

I also combined my work at HP with my active participation in non-profit organizations such as Lean In Network Barcelona.

How can I help you?

I currently share my experience and best practices with companies that need it and want to make changes internally to have an impact externally. I develop this function mainly as a Senior Advisor for communication agencies and for companies that need it.

My goal is to make companies, no matter their size, work with a clear purpose by always putting people at the center.
