Davao City, Philippines

I’m an artist with a background in sustainability and circular economy, driven by a deep belief in unity and collaboration. Through my art, I aim to inspire connection—and through my work in the circular economy, I strive to create tangible change. I authored Human Nature, a poetry book that explores the human experience through the lens of nature’s rhythms and character. It’s a lyrical journey that weaves together the themes of interconnectedness—between people, and between humanity and the natural world.

In am an interdisciplinary academic researcher whose 'home' discipline is English literary studies but whose work draws on wide-ranging interests in areas including heterodox economics, sociology, and politics, among others.

Saint-Lazare, Quebec, Canada

Husband, father, filmmaker/photographer, musician & indie author/writer of which none make me money, they bring me joy. Having recently turned 60, I’ve begun writing my first novel—an imaginative exploration sparked by the idea of Universal Basic Income (UBI). At its heart, the book asks: what would Canada look like if were fully realized—not just as a financial policy, but as a foundation for human dignity? For me, UBI is more than just income; it’s about Universal Basic Security (UBS)—a framework that ensures access to housing, healthcare, and social support for vulnerable populations. As I’ve immersed myself in the political realities we face today, I keep returning to a single question: Why have free democratic societies failed to provide dignity and self-determination for all their people? The novel begins with the premise that nationhood—and by extension, our political and economic systems—must be redefined. Our current models are deeply embedded in structures built to serve capitalistic colonial interests. But what if we could imagine something new? This journey led me to envision an alternative economic model, one that resonates with the ideas in Doughnut Economics and beyond—a system designed not for endless growth, but for equitable well-being. I’m not an academic, economist, or political scientist. I'm a  here to learn, listen, and contribute to conversations that matter.

As Corporate Development Officer at QUBIZteam, I work for the strategic growth and market integration of cutting-edge Quantum Sensing and Metrology solutions, leveraging deeptech to address critical global challenges.  With an Executive MBA from IE Business School and 30 years of diverse management experience, my career has been a deliberate journey towards impactful innovation. My foundation was forged over two decades across the entire value chain of the Telecommunications Industry, where I gained invaluable expertise in complex system deployment, market dynamics, and large-scale operations. For the past 10 years, I've channeled this experience into social and environmental innovation projects, a pivot driven by a passion for creating tangible, positive change. This unique trajectory positions me at the nexus of technological advancement and real-world application. My work as a Founding Curator of the Global Shapers Bilbao Hub (World Economic Forum) and as a Board Member for PTEA (Water Sector R&D Network) directly informs QUBIZ.team's mission. These roles provided firsthand insight into the urgent needs for advanced and sustainable solutions, which quantum technologies are uniquely poised to deliver (e.g., precise PFAS detection, real-time industrial monitoring, and more use cases in the pipeline). This ENFJ-A personality believes in building new models that render existing challenges obsolete – a philosophy inspired by R. Buckminster Fuller.
