Eight and a Half Years of Growth and Impact at Palo Alto Networks

After thirteen years at one of our partners in Product, Marketing, and Go-to-Market leadership, I made a defining choice: joining Palo Alto Networks. It was a bold move—shifting to a company still early in its journey in Spain.

When I arrived, our business with my former company was barely 5% of what it is today. Our technology wasn’t in their portfolio, nor were we a top partner. Eight and a half years later, they now use nearly our full stack, we are their #1 cybersecurity partner, and they are our #2 partner in EMEA. Helping drive this transformation has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my career.

I’ve always been driven by growth and by building things from the ground up—an energy that led me to found two technology companies earlier in my career. That entrepreneurial mindset aligns strongly with Palo Alto Networks’ culture of excellence and relentless ambition to be number one

Throughout my journey, I also dedicated time to teaching at the university level until last year. Though demanding, it kept me intellectually challenged, continuously learning, and allowed me to give back part of what I’ve gained through experience.

Teamwork is central – I have always valued diverse, collaborative environments. Living and working more than nine years abroad taught me the power of multicultural teams. At Palo Alto Networks, supporting business across 14 countries has broadened my perspective and strengthened my leadership.

Last fiscal year, I was honored to be named Ecosystems Strategic Partner Leader of the Year—a recognition that reflects the collective effort of the teams I work with daily.

Eight and a half years later, my passion for Palo Alto Networks remains as strong as ever. The challenges, innovation, and shared mission to protect the digital world continue to inspire me. More than a company, it’s a place where purpose meets possibility—and where we grow and make meaningful impact together.
