General Manager, MOVE · Estrella Galicia Digital
Why people do what they do.
I started by studying people. Then I used what I learned to build businesses, products and teams.
The question
I’ve spent my career trying to understand one thing: Why people do what they do.
One question, asked for a whole career.
Everything else, the models, the businesses, the teams, came from answering it.
I didn’t learn business and then apply it to people. I started with people, and the business was the consequence.
Four disciplines that rarely live in the same person.
- 01
Human behaviour
Consumer psychology, emotion and decision-making, studied academically to doctoral level.
- 02
Technology
Digital economy, product and Artificial Intelligence — from inside the systems, not commenting on them.
- 03
Building
Business models and growth: new businesses that have to make their own money.
- 04
Leading
Teams and culture that keep working long after the strategy meeting ends.
Formation
Where it was tested.
- 01
Consumer behaviour
It started academically: a PhD Cum Laude in consumer and human behaviour. Psychology, emotion and decision-making — the mechanics underneath what markets call “demand”.
- 02
Amazon
Then came Amazon, where that understanding of customers was tested at global scale. There he led the biggest international sales day in Amazon history.
- 03
Estrella Galicia
A decade-long evolution inside a century-old family company: digital transformation, then new business creation, then leadership. Running it, building inside it, then leading it.

Builder — HUEBOX
HueBox: a new business ecosystem built inside the group — product, technology and business model designed together.

Present tense
What I run today.
General Manager of MOVE — Estrella Galicia Digital: the group’s digital business, run as a business rather than as a function. Strategy, teams, technology and money sit on the same table.
Everything I write and share publicly comes out of that work.
Point of view
What I believe about business.
Nobody buys your product. They buy what it makes them feel, become or signal.
If you don’t master emotion, you don’t master business.
Campaigns buy attention for a while. Businesses build demand of their own.
A strategy is only as good as the organization that can run it.
Artificial Intelligence made execution cheap. It made judgement expensive.
Written and spoken
Ideas that leave the room.
Irreplaceable
A book about the value Artificial Intelligence cannot generate for you: reading people, choosing direction, carrying responsibility.
