Javier has been in the IT market for the last 25 years playing different roles in different markets, consultancy, utilities and then into the Telco, specialising in transformation programs, where he has been for the last 18 years. After leaving the University he jumped into developments teams, and for a few years enjoyed the projects, delivery is a great place to learn.
