Summary

I joined Quadriga in March 2017 after almost 20 years of experience in macro, commodities and sales and trading in London, Singapore and New York. I have managed risk and global teams in prestigious investment banks, such as JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, in a variety of global leadership roles.

In 2011, I founded Natural Resources and Commodity Advisors (NARECO) in Singapore, advising institutional customers and managing macro strategies and raw materials.

I then joined the management team at BlueCrest as Portfolio Manager managing $150m in macro absolute value strategies and raw materials, and later led raw materials businesses at Dymon Asia and Old Mutual Global Investors in Singapore, before returning to Spain to join Quadriga Asset Managers as Partner and Manager of Macro Commodities.

In addition to my experience managing risk, structuring solutions, and advising clients, I have maintained a visible Analyst and Strategist profile that includes co-authoring with Daniel Lacalle the best seller «The Energy World is Flat: opportunities from the End of Peak Oil» (Wiley), that was later translated to Spanish with the name of «La Madre de Todas las Batallas» (Deusto, 2014). A Chinese translation of the book was launched in 2017.

The public recognition of my contribution as an Analyst and Strategist includes the nomination to «Best Business book of the year 2014» in Spain. I am also honoured to have had the chance to collaborate with the Financial Times as a macro and raw materials expert with two Insight Columns (The Energy World is Flat, published on April 18th 2016 and Gold’s Perfect Storm, carried version in paper, published on August 8th 2016). Also, I have collaborated with El Mundo with my column «Raw Material», CNN, CNBC Squawk Box, Real Vision TV and Bloomberg TV, among others.
