Thinking outside the box

Growth Consulting

My name is Jesús Peña García,

Thank you for visiting my personal site.

I invite you to scroll down and learn more about me, my story, and my journey to become who I am today.

Let's find out how my experience can benefit you and your business

About me 

I belong to the 80s generation, one of the last ones to enjoy a playful and free childhood with minimal screen time and video games. 

I grew up in a modest but honest family, and I learned the values of sacrifice, hard work and resilience from an early age. 

Being the third out of three taught me to think fast and to find creative solutions to my daily challenges, a mindset that still drives me today.

I’ve always been pretty competitive with my friends, especially when playing football and futsal. I’ve learned that you can’t win all the time in life. Sometimes, a tough season is just what you need to get ready for a better one next time. It’s all about taking the good with the bad and knowing that every tough time you go through is just setting you up for future wins.

With over 25 years of experience in business, my professional journey can be segmented into three distinct phases:

 🕵🏻‍♂️ The Spy Time: During my time with the CNI (Centro Nacional de Inteligencia), Spain’s secret service, I delved deep into the world of satellite communications, RF communications, electronics, audio and video, and mobile applications. 

This ‘black box’ period was filled with extensive learning, though the specifics remain confidential. 

My work spanned projects and operations across more than 20 countries, each experience was certainly unique and invaluable.

🤓 The Consulting Time: I’ve worked with well-known companies like Deloitte, Grant Thornton and currently with an International IT Development company called Damco Solutions. I’ve helped these companies start new businesses and services. 

My jobs have included being a Director of Technology and Innovation, a Crypto Leader, a Director for Strategy and Technology transformation, a Cybersecurity Expert, and a Vice President for Europe. In all these roles, I’ve made sure to bring great value to our clients by introducing fresh ideas, helping the business grow in smart ways, and keeping everything secure.

👨🏻‍💻 The Entrepreneur Time: I thrive on the excitement of new technologies and the thrill of tackling fresh challenges. My journey has led me to be part of award-winning ventures, taking on roles such as CEO, COO, CTO, Advisor, Investor, or simply lending a hand. 

I find it hard to turn away from motivated founders with a solid business plan. I’ve launched over 15 private and non-profit initiatives, securing the necessary funding for their growth. 

In the startup world, you wear many hats – from marketing to operations, delivery to fundraising – and this versatility has been invaluable. 

Yes, I’m accustomed to managing several projects or initiatives simultaneously, each time building a wealth of diverse experience.
