Back story
While my day-to-day is deep in valuations and accounting, it is never just about the numbers. The true beauty of this work lies in knowing that behind every single report or financial plan, we are directly empowering founders to pursue their bold visions and build companies that shape the future.
Backstory
On the lookout for

I was born and raised in Seville, where I spent the first twenty years of my life and studied Business Administration. My path into finance wasn't conventional; before becoming an accountant, I worked in coffee shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and as a delivery driver. Those experiences were foundational, teaching me how different people work, what real effort looks like, and keeping me grounded.

Driven by an early curiosity for financial markets, I left my comfort zone to live and train in Edinburgh and Cologne before returning to Madrid to pursue my career. Throughout it all, I was anchored by parents who, despite having dreamed I would become a civil servant, fully supported my unconventional path.

I have always been drawn to structure, responsibility, and the financial mechanics of how businesses operate. At Adara, my day-to-day immerses me in valuations, reporting, and precise accounting, but my focus is never just on the numbers. I am obsessed with ensuring our funds run flawlessly so we can seamlessly provide founders with the resources they need to thrive.

I look to combine technical financial rigor with meaningful purpose. For me, the beauty of this work lies in knowing that behind every financial plan, we are empowering ambitious teams to build projects that shape the future.
