Bio
Pilar Moreno de Barreda
We spent over 15 years working together at the Spanish Embassy Commercial Office in London. At first, I had to report directly to Jorge, then we became coworkers. He has the ability to engage with its team in such a way that each member will commit over 100% to any assignment/project, skilfully guiding everyone to achieve their full potential. Able to forge long lasting relationships with key stakeholders in the private and public sector alike, he is an excellent, committed, trustworthy and versatile professional, able to moderate a round-table with start-ups or to lead a panel discussion with large infrastructure companies on the latest development in public funding. He understands and anticipates the needs of exporters, investors and associations alike in their internationalisation process, and he always delivers beyond their expectations. He is also compassionate, pushing his own limits, a rounded person. I can not recommend him highly enough.
