I have a strong academic studies after my studies in Business Administration (bachelor and MBA at a world top 10 Business School). Having practiced sports during my whole life in an amateur way and beoing a sports fan and follower of major professional events, I have the perspective from the consumer side and the background of the professional in the financial and organisational side.
Most of my professional background is in the corporate finance area of several industries, in different countries and under changing scenarios. I have worked in construction, shipbuilding, transportation, retail and strategic consulting in telecoms and banking. Argentina, Brazil, Germany, the UK and more recently Spain have my professional destinations.
In sports related industries, I've been involved in projects in motorsports (GP2 and Dakar) and football (soccer, Spanish League) and organising corporate events related to football (soccer).
MBA, IESE Business School, Barcelona, Spain.
Bachelor in Business Adminstration, Belgrano University, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm witnessing the transformation of sports industry from the stand, literally speaking, and I feel I can be part of this evolution.
I have passion for football (soccer for my North American fellow members) and for motorsports. In recent years I've been changing my perspective when watching sports, either live or in tv. Before I used to see only the upper layer, the overall performance, the technique and try to understand the strategy in each discipline. Nowadays, I see the whole picture: the industry behind, the financial aspects, the side business, the social impact and how people benefit from it.
This is what is driving me forward to get involved adding my professional view.
