The Doughnut's - "Building Better Futures" Toolkit

As Co-founder at QUBIZ.team—a Certified B Corporation™ pioneering quantum sensing and metrology—I align cutting-edge deep tech with planetary boundaries and social foundation needs. With an Executive MBA (IE Business School) and 30 years bridging technological innovation and market execution, my focus shifted a decade ago from traditional corporate leadership in Telecommunications to purpose-driven, impact-led ventures. My journey is rooted in the belief that advanced science must serve systemic regeneration. At QUBIZ.team, we harness quantum metrology to tackle critical environmental tipping points. Our first breakthrough addresses chemical pollution by enabling real-time detection of PFAS ('forever chemicals') in water—protecting ecosystems and public health. My work in ecosystem building—as Founding Curator of the Global Shapers Bilbao Hub (WEF), former Board Member of the Spanish Water Technology R&D Network (PTEA), active member of the Quantum Sensing Expert Group at the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC), and co-promoter of the Spanish Quantum Alliance (SQuA)—directly shapes our regenerative mission. Guided by Buckminster Fuller’s vision to "build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete," I am committed to advancing Deep Tech for Good where economic viability and planetary well-being are measured as a single metric.

I am a former CEO of a private company manufacturing capital goods for the steel industry.  While I have lived and benefitted from the growth mindset, since retiring I have been searching for a movement that can start to change the way our society works. My focus had been on politics but every where I looked at political movements I saw such firmly entrenched opposition to change that I could not see a way to start change that could be successful.  After reading "Donought Economics" my eyes were opened to the possibility of focusing on economic change with the many small ways that grass roots efforts could make change develop from the bottom up. I still believe that political change is necessary but with an economic movement developing momentum political change may become inevitable.

Enthusiastic and energy spreader are some of the soft skills that makes me a life passionate. Married and father of 2 (10 and 4yo couple), I consider myself a hedonist and an epicurist. Enjoying all the pleasures life have to offer, try to practice a work-hard-play-hard/YOLO positioning. Humanist by heart and Illuminist by mind. Liberal regarding the markets, conservative regarding customs. Love to cook and Lego collector, Benfica supporter
