Passionate about the connection between technological changes and their impact on companies and society, he has written and published "The End of INERTIA" (available in Spanish).

The End of INERTIA

We live in an exciting moment in which technology is transforming both the way businesses are generated and the way we relate to technology itself, our environment and even other people.

The End of INERTIA describes this moment, that of the Digital Revolution, one in which the inertias of the past are not enough to define the future.

That's why I believe more in reinvention than in digital transformation of businesses and consider data and artificial intelligence a fundamental piece of that reinvention.
