I co-founded two startups in Spain, El Español and Politibot. I was a Nieman fellow at Harvard (2017-2018). I studied at the MIT how technology can help us fight polarization. At Harvard Business School I studied new markers. I was also into Presidential History and economic growth, Chinese philosophy, leadership, Music History, and non-fiction writing.I have worked as a mentor for other news organizations, and I have experience in teaching at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and the CNN Academy-Loyola University Journalism Master in Seville.My latest book is 'El periódico' (Debate, Penguin-Random House, 2022) explores the digital revolution in newsrooms in the last two decades, a nostalgic yet optimistic essay with the tone of a memoir.I was born and raised in Spain, but I studied in the Liceo Italiano of Madrid.
