Eduardo has been working in technology almost two decades, last 15 years within the wireless industry, smartphones and mobile internet.<\/p>\n
He defines himself as a digital emigrant with analog values, a nerd and one of the technofreak pioneers of the X generation.<\/p>\n
He had his first introduction to computers with a Commodore 64, back in the 80s, a 64Kb machine running a 1 MHz processor. He became an amateur hacker at that time.<\/p>\n

That year, the financial newspaper, El Economista, in its annual poll, ranked Eduardo as the second best executive in the Spanish telco sector.<\/p>\n
