BIO
“Somewhere in between activism and entrepreneurship, that´s where I belong.”
Always involved in community based initiatives and projects, I worked for the Basque Youth Council for 2 years, where I had the chance to work and collaborate with many local experiences related with community development, housing, employment and youth policies.
In this period I started to feel more interested on urbanism and space related community development projects, policies and innovation. I decided to go back to University and complete my studies with Urban Planning and Regional Development related diplomas.
Since then I have been immersed in urban related topics, mostly working on a consultancy level at Grupo MAS and setting up a project called Getxoberpiztu, which aims to re-active public space and abandoned plots of land trough collaborative innovation processes.
At the present I´m putting my energy and time together with my team into LINKER, a consultancy focused on connecting opportunities and creating collaborative ecosystems in local and global scale, and in both, private and public-private environments, to facilitate new ways of management of resources, cities, citizen services and funding.
