ABOUT

I am an Associate Professor of Innovation, Strategy and Marketing at the Universidad de Navarra (accredited as Profesor Titular by ANECA in June 2024). I specialize in innovation ecosystems, markets for technology, and governance-driven innovation strategy.

I hold a PhD in Business Administration and Quantitative Methods from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. My doctoral research on licensing strategy was supported by competitive national grants and enriched by research stays at Boston University and Bocconi University, strengthening my expertise in technology transfer and collaborative innovation.

My work examines how firms and institutions create, coordinate, and capture value within multi-stakeholder innovation systems. I integrate strategy, intellectual property, ESG governance, and ecosystem dynamics to understand the structural drivers of long-term competitiveness.

I am the founder and coordinator of the VISION Research Group (Value, Innovation, Sustainability and Open Networks), focused on innovation strategy, ecosystem orchestration, and institutional coordination.

I have published in leading journals such as Technovation, Industrial and Corporate Change, and Eurasian Business Review. I serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Technology Management and Innovation and act as reviewer for top-tier journals including Technovation and JPIM.

I represent Universidad de Navarra in the European initiative STAMINA ECO-CONNECT (Horizon Europe CSA), aimed at coordinating and strengthening cross-country innovation ecosystems. My expertise in ecosystem strategy is further reinforced by advanced training at MIT Sloan on corporate innovation and ecosystem leveraging.

My academic trajectory combines international research experience, competitive project leadership, and institutional evaluation roles within the Chilean innovation system. My research and teaching are grounded in a systemic perspective: innovation is not a firm-level event, but a coordinated institutional process embedded in complex ecosystems.
