About

Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources from the University of Salamanca | Vocation and passion for talent, if there is something that describes me is that I am a people´s ambassador. I believe that talent is the key that can make a company grow, so I manage it from all areas such as training, development, payroll, health and safety, legal, operations, recruitment and employer branding. My goal is to create a team that maximizes profitability and minimizes risk. To achieve both, I apply all my effort and passion into it. #Desarrollo de Recursos Humanos #Relaciones Laborales #RRHH #Organizaciónymetodosdetrabajo #Derechodeltrabajo #Personas #Empresa #Graduado Social

Experience

  • Founder & CEO at QIU
    Dec 2024 - Present · 1 yr 7 mos

    As Founder & CEO of QIU, I lead the vision, strategy and development of a new-generation recruitment platform designed to make hiring faster, more human and more direct. QIU was created to solve one of the biggest challenges in recruitment in Hospitality/Retail today: the GAP between companies that need talent quickly and candidates who are ready to work but often get lost in long, slow and impersonal hiring processes. As Founder and team leader, I oversee the company’s overall strategy, product direction, business development, partnerships, operations and go-to-market execution. My role combines entrepreneurial leadership with my background in People & Culture, talent acquisition and organizational development. This allows me to build QIU not only as a technology product, but as a people-focused solution that responds to real hiring needs. My mission with QIU is to transform the recruitment experience for both sides: helping companies hire faster and smarter, while giving candidates a more accessible, direct and fair way to present themselves. Key areas of focus: Leadership, HR Tech, Recruitment Innovation, Talent Acquisition, Candidate Experience, People & Culture, Product Strategy, Business Development, Hospitality Recruitment, Retail Recruitment, Direct Interviews, Hiring Technology, Talent Matching, Employee Experience.
