After completing an MBA at IE Business School, he travelled all over Morocco carrying Coca-Cola cases in between working for Globalpraxis and helping SABMiller increase sales in Poland, among other projects. Later on, he took on the brand strategy world and started working for BBDO Consulting, the consulting division of this renowned creative agency, where he worked for clients such as Telefonica or Galp Energia.
