Intro

Chemical Engineer | Production & Plant Manager with 6+ years of experience driving excellence in manufacturing operations. I specialize in process optimization, technical support, and leading high-performance multidisciplinary teams to exceed safety and efficiency benchmarks.

Currently leading operations at Wolf Group Ibérico, my work is built on four strategic pillars:

✅ Strategic Leadership – Directing dynamic teams and shifts to maintain peak productivity, safety, and operational cohesion.

✅ Advanced Analytics – Leveraging Power BI and data-driven methodologies to inform and execute strategic decision-making.

✅ Lean Management – Implementing Lean and 5S principles to streamline operations and maximize resource efficiency.

✅ Cross-Departmental Synergy – Aligning production with Sales, Procurement, Quality, and Maintenance to ensure seamless organizational workflows.

I am driven by operational excellence and dedicated to fostering a work environment where both people and processes can achieve continuous growth.

Work

What represents me as a professional?

Excellence & common sense. I have a deep understanding of the whole business and every step I take is for the sake of consistent and sustainable performance.

Here's a list of achievements, without spoiling too much:

• Evolved from frontline operations to plant management.
• Led my teams to make them shine and develop their full potential.
• Transitioned a couple of factories from family ownership to corporate management.
• Warehouse layout optimization.
• Implemented ISO 9001 quality management system.
• Applied lean manufacturing principles to improve efficiency and reduce waste. Within months, output 2.6x and within a year scrap from 5% to 0.6%.

About

Curiosity and excellence is what drives me. But what do I drive?
Cars. That is something I am passionate about and pushed me to learn about mechanics.

Learnt to fix engines, fine tuning and performance optimization.
Engaged my father to learn with me, empowered him and we grew together.
I believe that the same principles apply to engineering and management.

My Journey

What's next?

On 2024 I moved into a house we are currently renovating. Learning more skills and widening my knowledge.

Continuously learning about non-stop changing AI tools.
