Qualified Attorney (Spain / Eu Hub)

I am a fintech and payments lawyer with over a decade of experience advising high-growth international companies across regulated environments, cross-border payments, and emerging financial infrastructure.

My interest in crypto started both personally and professionally while living and working in Argentina, where economic instability and capital controls made alternative financial systems not just interesting — but necessary. That experience shaped my long-term interest in blockchain-based solutions and financial access.

Professionally, I have worked closely with global payments and fintech businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions. At Thunes, I was involved in cross-border payment structures where stablecoins were used for funding and, in some corridors, settlement. We also partnered with digital wallets and alternative payment providers across emerging markets. Previously, I explored crypto-enabled payment models designed to operate in markets facing USD access restrictions across Latin America.

I am particularly interested in roles at the intersection of crypto, payments, compliance, and global expansion — where regulatory strategy, product development, and commercial execution meet. I bring strong experience negotiating complex commercial agreements (SaaS, payment services, vendor agreements), supporting licensing projects, and working closely with product and executive teams to scale responsibly in regulated industries.

I am looking to join a Web3 or crypto-native company that values regulatory intelligence as a growth enabler, not a blocker — ideally in payments, stablecoins, financial infrastructure, or cross-border ecosystems.
