Four years on the advisory side (feasibility studies, OpEx audits, market entry, due diligence) across the Gulf and the Levant. The engagements ended the same way each time: a recommendation, a model handed over, and a client left to implement it with whatever tooling they already had. The analysis was rarely the constraint. The distance between the analysis and the operation was.
The MSc at ESADE was the move to close that distance. I build the systems now: process-intelligence consoles, triage pipelines, scoring engines with human review gates. The consulting years are what make them usable, because I already know what the operator asks on the second screen.
Every system in the work section starts from a decision somebody is accountable for: which variant to re-review, which supplier to escalate, which batch failed and why, which engineer to staff. The model is never the deliverable. The decision is.
