José Luis wants to consolidate an insurmountable competitive advantage and guarantee worldwide buyers an import experience characterized by "absolute peace of mind" and 100% security, the implementation of a Cognitive Supply Chain Control Tower is imperative. This comprehensive platform must orchestrate Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and distributed ledger technology (Blockchain). For this purpose I am working to develop a software architecture necessary to deploy an ecosystem where the importers can visually audit their merchandise in real time, track its global location, finance the purchase through a frictionless 90-day confirmed documentary letter of credit, and be protected by an autonomously executing parametric insurance that covers 100% of the cargo against any contingency.



ABOUT ME
Connecting Cultures, Creating Opportunities
I am a specialist with a profound background in international trade, diplomatic relations, and negotiation, supported by a Master's degree - Summa Cum Laude - in International Trade Management. I have accumulated vast experience in diverse global markets, including economic powerhouses like China and the United States, as well as emerging and complex economies such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa. My primary focus in these regions has been the negotiation and strategic acquisition of a wide range of goods, always with the paramount objective of securing the most advantageous conditions in terms of prices and payment methods, thereby optimizing the efficiency and profitability of operations.
In addition to my trade experience, I am a seasoned entrepreneur in the education and sports sector. I am the proud owner of a language school with three decades of experience, offering high-quality linguistic services in the Canary Islands. Our clientele includes both local residents and the growing community of foreigners, operating under the prestigious brand of the University of Salamanca. We are currently immersed in an ambitious expansion process, with our sights set on the promising niche of language, sports, and leisure tourism in the Canary Islands. Simultaneously, we are extending our training offerings to West Africa, initiating operations in Senegal and Ivory Coast, which represents a significant step in our international projection.
In parallel, I have developed a distinctive specialization in the creation and development of brands in the restaurant sector. My expertise encompasses the integral conception of the business concept, brand identity creation, the formulation of innovative recipes, the careful selection of top-tier Spanish suppliers, and brand registration in multiple international jurisdictions. Currently, my objective is to identify the ideal operator, a strategic partner with proven experience in the management and expansion of restaurant chains. I seek an alliance that will allow us to jointly launch our brand nationally and internationally, offering gourmet products of Spanish origin, with a particular emphasis on superior quality extra virgin olive oils and Iberian acorn-fed hams, authentic ambassadors of Spanish gastronomy.
