Borja holds a degree in Business Administration and an Executive MBA. With over 20 years of professional experience, his career covers finance, executive search, and senior leadership roles in the technology and fintech sectors. He began his career in finance, working at multinational companies such as Getronics and Hewlett Packard. In roles like Management Controller and Credit Analyst, he developed strong analytical and operational skills within complex corporate environments. He later transitioned into executive search, spending six years at firms like Seeliger y Conde, Michael Page and Hays. This stage gave him deep exposure to leadership assessment and organizational dynamics, working closely with clients to identify and recruit senior executives across industries. Over the past decade, Borja has focused on the technology and digital space. He served as Commercial Director at LinkedIn Iberia and was Country Manager for Spain at Wagestream, a UK fintech specializing in Earned Wage Access. Most recently, he led the launch and expansion of Irish digital bank Money Jar in the Spanish market. His experience includes driving growth strategies, building cross-functional teams, and scaling businesses in startup and scale-up environments. Borja is Director of the Technology Practice at Amrop Spain, where he leads the development of the firm’s presence in the tech sector, supporting clients in attracting and developing high-impact leadership for the digital age.

I was waiting for a project that would excite me to return to executive search, and Amrop has everything I was looking for: an innovative, growth-driven project, with exceptional partners and a methodology that integrates traditional approaches with modern solutions - particularly in areas like technology and AI.
