PhD - Head of AI Lab at BBVA’s AI Factory
I'm a passionate innovator, fortunate to have managed great teams in top companies in the industries of AI and video-game development (BBVA Innovation Labs, EA, Zinkia, Telefonica I+D). These are the things I love and give my time to: People! (the real fuel of a business) • Developing teams' talent and careers. • Management of software development teams. • Partnership management. Artificial Intelligence: • AI-driven innovation with direct application to actual use cases (GenAI, NLP, AIOps). • Research on AI, with projects and articles in machine learning (RL, artificial emotions, game theory). • Bringing teams together around enterprise-size programmes (regardless of org-charts and locations). And music: • Playing R'n'R. • Writing songs (over 110 musical compositions).

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's career trajectory shows a blend of deep technical expertise in AI and extensive experience in leadership and management within large corporate environments (BBVA, EA). While the target role is 'Quality Assurance Engineer', the candidate's recent experience is heavily skewed towards AI leadership and R&D, which might indicate a mismatch with a hands-on QA engineering role. Their diverse background, including game development and localization, shows adaptability, but the direct alignment with a dedicated QA engineering role is not immediately apparent from their recent focus. The long tenure at BBVA and EA suggests loyalty and ability to thrive in structured environments.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, strategic thinking, and a results-oriented research culture. Their experience in managing large teams and complex projects suggests excellent operational fit for senior roles. The descriptions highlight agile collaboration and a focus on continuous improvement, which are valuable soft skills.
