About Sandra
My origins: from engineer to project manager
Talent is discovered by working. This is how I have been discovering my talent and my passion. Industrial Engineer in electronics, upon entering the world of work I soon realized that what really excited me was the management and global vision of the business.
Dare to try new things and follow in the wake of what makes you vibrate inside.
I was the youngest Project Manager in the LCD TV division of Philips Semiconductors in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I worked in the Netherlands for 7 years on international projects that frequently took me to remote parts of the planet and allowed me to appreciate, study and enjoy cultural differences in the professional environment.
Bad personal relationships are the cause of the vast majority of business failures. If you add the cultural differences to this, the ecosystem becomes much more complex.
Specialization in digital business strategy and management
My return to Spain marked a turning point in my professional career. By leaving industrial project management to focus on other sectors, I discovered and fell in love with the internet as a means of generating business. That passion would be what would lead me to specialize in this medium, and to meet the people who would later become my business partners.
Choose carefully what to spend your energy on. You can do anything you set your mind to, but you can’t do everything.
Currently I am focused on management from a more business and portfolio management point of view within my company, Flat 101, where I am a specialist in modeling and strategic optimization of digital businesses, responsible for the implementation of research with users in projects Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) in Flat 101, and creator of our Usability Lab.
In parallel, I accompany the training of other project managers and digital business managers who want to evolve and improve in their profession.
Focus, be consistent, and enjoy the ride. The results will come.
Strategic vision and efficient management
I consider that my profile contributes an essential part to those companies and clients with whom I collaborate, because my greatest ability is to unite strategic vision and efficient management. My approach seeks to adequately define what we must do so that the business achieves better results and then guarantee the adequate management and execution so that this is fulfilled.
My motto is: “Getting the right things done”
