My untold burnout story
While it has brought me to reassess my values, and took me to travel the world, here I explain what took me to take the harsh decision of quitting my job. There are many unconscious biases that affect minorities and less privileged people, and that's why it is crucial for me to share my story to shed some light on how it affects people on a daily basis. It is necessary to work towards raising awareness and learning together to bring equity in a world that has been unequal for far too long. Here I am explaining how I burnout reached me, the missteps that I did on my side, and how leaders, and managers can work towards building more diverse teams.

Reflections on success & leadership styles.
Leadership:
- is genuine and it is not meant to favor any side.
- is something transparent, it is something in the air that impacts everyone at the same level.
- Leadership happens because that’s what feels right and does not know about economic benefits and growth.
- Leadership is about personal development in companies. Leadership is the love that our parents have for us without asking for anything in exchange.
That’s the lesson I’ve learned from someone who doesn’t have an MBA from an Ivy League school but works countless hours in order to make his workplace more human-friendly.
Because that’s what leadership is about.

How AI is shaping the future and why tech has to be more inclusive?
This is a live podcast episode recorded in the Forum of Fnac Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona on September 12th, 2019 where I’ve had the chance to interview female leaders about the impact of women in technology.
It is an episode done in collaboration with TechBloom, where I am a founding member, and we are a Think Tank shaping the future with the help of field experts and provide this know-how to companies willing to disrupt the field they are in.
Our today’s guests are two Ph.D.s Women in Tech and AI and one of the founding members of Mobile World Capital, the group behind the world-renown Mobile Congress that happens yearly in Barcelona.
Some of the topics I had the chance to interview them about are the biases that AI may perpetuate and accentuate. Learn why future IA recruiters may be biased when choosing who to hire or not due to the historical data they are taking decisions on together with many other fun facts related to the AI.
In terms of entrepreneurship, the former-Deputy CEO of Mobile World Capital highlights the problem of under-investment in female-founded companies and the need to solve it in order to allow women to be protagonists of disruptive technology and have access to tech.
Get inspired towards the end by what’s actually moving the needle in “female empowerment” and hands-on tip on how to shape a gender-balanced and inclusive future because that’s what we need.
