How long have you been working at Telefónica and how do you rate your time here?
I’ve been worked at Telefónica for over eleven years, although I have spent most of my PwC career at Telefónica since 2007 as an end customer in O2 Czech Republic, TISA, O2 Germany and Great Britain. The experience has been incredibly enriching both professionally and personally. I have had the privilege of playing various roles that have allowed me to be involved in strategic projects with a global impact, especially in the field of digital entertainment.
What I value most about my career here is the opportunity to work with international teams and manage relationships with major OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon and Disney+. Telefónica has played a key role in my development and provided me with an environment in which I have been able to explore new business opportunities and contribute to the digital transformation of the telecommunications sector. It is without a doubt a place where I have been able to grow and leave a significant footprint.
Is there a project at Telefónica that you are particularly proud or satisfied with?
It was one of the projects I am most proud of at Telefónica global launch of the services of the main OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ in the group’s countries. This project involved coordinating teams across multiple regions, managing strategic agreements with key industry players and ensuring an innovative experience for our customers. I also contributed to its creation of new entertainment experiencessuch as Karaoke Kanto’s Living App, which reflects our focus on innovation, or XR experiences at the premiere of Movistar Plus+’s original El Inmortal. It gives me great satisfaction to see how these projects have enriched Telefónica’s value proposition.

Telefónica has had a significant impact on society by connecting millions of people around the world, facilitating communication and access to information anytime, anywhere. Through its services, it not only provides quality entertainment through its alliances with major content platforms, but also promotes digital inclusion, thereby bridging the technology gap.
In addition, initiatives such as Fundación Telefónica, Fundación 42 and ProFuturo are clear examples of the company’s social commitment. These initiatives promote digital education, entrepreneurship and technology skills training, helping young people and adults meet the challenges of the digital age. In the environmental field, Telefónica has been a pioneer in adopting sustainable practices and reducing its carbon footprint. comprehensive responsibility towards the planet and society. This strengthens its role as a leader in digital transformation with an inclusive and sustainable vision for the future.
Where do you see Telefónica in the future?
In the future, I see Telefónica consolidated as a global leader in connectivity and technological innovation. With a presence in 12 countries and a 100-year track record, the company has demonstrated an exceptional ability to adapt and lead in digital transformation. In the coming years, Telefónica will not only continue to develop advanced infrastructures such as 5G and fiber optic, but also excel in the implementation of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things and extended reality (XR).
Furthermore, Telefónica’s commitment to sustainability and digital inclusion will be central to its growth. It will help close the technology gap and improve the quality of life for millions of people. Telefónica will develop not only as a telecommunications company, but also as a digital ecosystem that connects, entertains and strengthens society in an increasingly interconnected and technological world.
Could you live without a mobile phone?
Living without a cell phone would be very difficult, not just because of the device itself, but because of everything it represents. The mobile phone has become much more than a means of communication; it is a window on the world, connected to the Internet and a host of services that make our daily lives easier. From managing work tasks to accessing entertainment or information in real time.
While I recognize the value and convenience of the cell phone, I am also aware of the importance of maintaining a balance. That’s why I try to be disciplined and disconnect, especially when I’m with my family or friends or when I’m focusing on my free time. Besides consuming professional content on YouTube and LinkedIn, I make little use of the usual social networks. All of this is always focused on enjoying quality time with myself and my loved ones.
Help us solve one of humanity’s great riddles: the potato omelette… With onion or without onion?
Ah, the eternal potato omelet debate! Personally, I think the addition of onion adds an extra sweetness and flavor that pairs beautifully with the potatoes and eggs. If it is caramelized onion, the flavor comes out even better! I understand that there are people who, for reasons of simplicity or tradition, prefer omelettes without onions, and that too has its charm.
Because there’s an Italian cooking at my house, the frittatawith that extra touch of onion, becomes a classic and delicious dish. In the end, it all depends on your personal taste – for me, a good omelette with onions is simply unbeatable!
