Executive Experience He began his professional career in 1989 at the audit firm, where eleven years later he would be appointed as Partner.

Since 2008 he has formed part of the Firm’s Global Audit and Assurance Leadership Team, which comprises representatives from Deloitte’s eight largest firms worldwide. Furthermore, in the period from 2012 to 2016, he served as a member of the Firm’s Global World Board of Directors.

In recent years he has helped various organizations to develop compliance models (under ISO 19600 and ISO 37301), both to harness the advantages of an effective and efficient management of compliance-related risks and to minimize the legal, economic, and reputational risks arising from the lack of precision of those models.

He teaches courses and seminars at universities, executive training centers, and leading national and international financial institutions. His knowledge of the financial services industry led him to become an instructor for the Bank of Spain’s inspectors on subjects related to accounting, the stock market, derivatives, and internal audit.
