mariano ponce de flores

I’m a multidisciplinary professional with a background in Business Administration and Law, building momentum through international experience in Kenya via the ICEX VIVES program. I focus on business development where I can identify decision-makers, run outreach, and turn early conversations into execution through strong ownership and stakeholder alignment.

In my recent role with MentorDay Accelerator, I built and managed a CRM pipeline of 500+ contacts and ecosystem stakeholders across Kenya—supporting market research, stakeholder mapping, and partnership development with universities, incubators, accelerators, startups, and innovation hubs. Previously, as a Management & Sales Intern in Spain, I helped drive customer activity and operational performance using business indicators, and I’ve also led multicultural teams as a futsal captain, strengthening communication, adaptability, resilience, and discipline.
