Heading up the London studio, I’m a cultural translator between design and business. I create a platform for our teams and clients to learn, grow and be more successful, by putting people at the heart of what they do.

I’m never happier than playing football in the english rain, wearing one of my old Real Madrid shirts, imagining i’m Uli Stielike.

Prior to joining IDEO in 2010, Luis worked as a brand manager and then the advertising manager for Fiat, helping to launch the Fiat 500 in Europe. He subsequently served as the head of digital innovation at the Fiat Group, where he oversaw the development and launch of Fiat eco:Drive, the first mass-market application of a connected vehicle that has prompted behaviour change among 100,000 drivers.
