Senior manager focusing on emerging trends and technologies at Alcatel-Lucent where he leads the IID, Ideation, Incubation and Demonstrations Team in the Solutions & Technology Introduction department.

José joined Lucent Technologies a decade ago as part of the company’s international strategy team focusing on global network operators. Since, he has successfully launched new products in the telecommunications industry and played an instrumental role in complex application partnerships, having worked on projects in the United States, the European Union and Brazil.

Last year, he competed in Alcatel-Lucent’s first “Americas Entrepreneurial Boot Camp” as part of one of six teams reaching the program’s Grand Finale, which featured innovative information and communications technologies.

Trained in Europe as a product designer at Escola Massana’s Art and Design Center, José was the recipient of a Fundación Mutua General and UPC scholarship enabling him to graduate with the first class to be awarded a postgraduate degree of human factors engineering in Spain.

He was also the winner of a HONEYWELL EUROPE Futurist Award in 1993 as featured by CNN International’s Future Watch and two EPSON Information Technologies Journalism Awards in Spain.

Passionate about new product design and user centric innovations, early in his career José pioneered LAI’s first course on Human Factors in Product Design and wrote Roadblocks Impacting Ergonomics in Design, a paper published by INSHT, the Spanish Health & Safety Institute.

His strong interest in management and international business drove him to the DBS program at Ireland’s UCD, earning a postgraduate degree in business studies with a scholarship from a European Union agency.

José went on to pursue an MBA in International Marketing & Finance from Chicago’s DePaul University, sponsored by Honeywell Europe. He has since participated in executive development courses on: global marketing at Wharton, partnerships and alliances at Northwestern University, technology and business integration at University of Chicago and, most recently, innovation management at Harvard Business School.
