Pablo boasts extensive international experience in consulting, retail, real estate, and renewable energies, having worked on international projects at PwC and served as Real Estate Director at Ahold and El Corte Inglés, managing investments exceeding €350M. His roles as Deputy Director of Hipercor and member of the corporate purchasing team at El Corte Inglés have honed his acumen in managing multimillion-euro turnovers and spearheading transformative initiatives. Recently, he contributed to a subsidiary of Asterion Industrial Partners focused on acquiring and managing parking facilities, actively participating in M&A transactions. On the other hand, Gonzalo is a serial entrepreneur and seasoned CEO with a proven track record in launching both digital startups and traditional business models. All 4 companies he founded, including Vitalia Day Centers (Elderly) and Barullo Company (Retail), remain operational. Notably, Celebrents (Events Marketplace) merged with another company within its sector, showcasing Gonzalo’s adeptness in strategic business moves.
Accustomed to navigating investor relations and M&A processes, their hands-on operational roles afford them a comprehensive understanding of all facets of business operations, spanning multinational environments and diverse sectors. Consequently, their pursuit is agnostic, targeting companies with a minimum EBITDA of €2M.
