Manager in AI & Transformation—turning responsible AI ambitions into compliant, scalable strategy and measurable execution.
What I'm looking for
I specialize in turning AI ambition into structured, responsible and scalable transformation. As Manager | Strategy & Transformation at KPMG España, I lead AI-enabled transformation programs in highly regulated industries, acting as end-to-end Project Manager across business, technology, data, legal and compliance. I drive C-level stakeholder alignment, structured governance (SteerCo, RAID), proactive risk management, and GDPR and EU AI Act (including high-risk classification) compliance—so delivery remains controlled, transparent, and trusted by design.
I also lead market benchmarkings and multi-criteria vendor selection frameworks (technical scalability, IT security, GDPR, EU AI Act, and Responsible AI controls), supporting due diligence, contract negotiations, and vendor onboarding with Procurement, Legal and IT Security. Previously, as a Senior Strategy & Transformation Consultant at KPMG España, I coordinated transformation and AI implementation projects focused on efficiency and a digital, customer-centric way of working. At Garrigues, I led technology adoption and operational efficiency initiatives—developing a proprietary sales pipeline platform as Product Owner, experimenting with AI automation, redesigning AML/KYC workflows, and producing business intelligence and strategic reporting using PowerBI and Excel.
