Member of Harm Reduction International's Human Rights and Justice team, working on everything human-rights related in drug control policy.

From September 2018 to March 2019, I was part of the fantastic foreign policy advocacy team at Amnesty International's EU office. My main responsibilities were:- Managing advocacy tours with EU institutions: identifying targets, setting up meetings, drafting briefings for decision-makers.- Drafting advocacy letters and submissions for EEAS & Commission officials, EU member state representatives, and MEPs.- Promoting human rights topics in the European Parliament´s agenda through urgency resolutions and parliamentary questions.- Amnesty International's focal person for the civil society debriefings of COHOM - the EU Council Working Party for coordinating EU member state action in UN human rights fora.

Sakharov Prize Trainee at the European Parliament's Directorate-General for External Policies.My responsibilities included:- Organizing meetings between MEPS and Human Rights Defenders from all over the world.- Drafting speeches for Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on democracy and human rights.- Drafting a monthly briefing for MEPs and Sakharov Prize Laureates on the actions of the Sakharov Prize Network, and on the Parliament's resolutions on human rights and foreign policy.- Organizing events for the Sakharov Prize Network that featured Members of the European Parliament, human rights activits, and Sakharov Prize Laureates.

Article 19 is a leading civil society organization focused on the defence of the rights to freedom of expression and to information. As an intern at Article 19's Law and Policy programme, I conducted research on international standards and comparative law concerning freedom of speech in the digital sphere. I took part in the following actions: - I conducted research on the ongoing legislative review of two European directives (on copyright and audiovisual media services). I compared the wording of these directives, as it was produced by several legislative committees within the European Parliament, against international standards on Internet intermediary liability.- I carried out fifteen case studies on real-life hate speech instances in online and offline media. These examples were used as material for debate in a symposium of European media regulators organised in London on October 2017.- I drafted a comparative legal analysis of website blocking in 10 different European countries. This research was used in an amicus curiae brief submitted to the European Court of Human Rights.Since October 2017, I was an external consultant for Article 19's communications department.

In 2015 I co-founded CompanyExpress.es (http://companyexpress.es), the first legal services e-commerce for incorporating Spanish companies. I was the co-founder and manager of this project, which comprised a team of three people. - I identified and designed a product that did not exist, at the time, in the Spanish legal services market: an online service that allowed entrepreneurs to incorporate a company in short time, and at a low cost, from home.- In twelve months, we were able to create from scratch a new business model, and to incorporate dozens of companies.

I worked for more than five years as corporate lawyer in DiG Advocats, a great Barcelona-based law firm specialized in providing legal services for Spanish and foreign companies,Most of my clients operated in the digital sector. I advised them on squarely corporate matters, such as acquisition of or investment in private companies, and on everyday commercial matters related to Intellectual Property, data transfers, and the Internet.Key achievements:- I have extensive experience in understanding and working with radically different legal systems. I advised clients in M&A operations executed in countries as diverse as Colombia (2011), China (2012), and the French Guyana (2014).- I represented clients in judicial procedures related to civil law issues such as the breach of a distribution contract (claimed amount 6.5M Euros), or a quarrel between shareholders (claimed amount 5M Euros).- In 2014 I designed an entirely new litigation strategy for claiming back Spain's tax on the transmission of real estate properties (‘Plusvalía Municipal'), in those cases where a property had been sold at a loss because its owners were not able to face mortgage repayment - a common occurrence in post-recession Spain.

In September 2012 I co-founded Babanjo Radio, a startup that developed a mobile application designed for listening and interacting with all the radio stations in Spain. My role as Babanjo Radio's CFO involved three separate areas. - First, I was responsible for the financial management of the company, and for designing a reporting system aimed at controlling the company's performance. I oversaw the budget of our six-person operation. - Secondly, I was responsible for fundraising and for dealing with our investors. In this sense, I should point out that we successfully raised more than 150,000 EUR in private and public financing. In third place, as a member of the founding team I was part of the general management of the company. Babanjo Radio was an extremely challenging project, as we had to create a complex technological platform from scratch. I learnt the hard way how to (and how not to) manage a team, and to implement a multidimensional project.
