Doctor by the Universidade de Vigo with the thesis Transacciones laborales y estructuras de gobierno en la planta industrial 2002. Supervised by Dr. José Manuel García Vázquez.

Right after my graduation at the University of Santiago de Compostela, I followed the doctoral programme at IDEGA and the support ETIC doctoral courses sponsored by the E.U., with short stays in Maastricht and Strasburg. On May 10th, 2002, I earned a European Doctorate in Business Organization. I have also studied and carried out several research stays at Århus Business School (Denmark), UNISINOS (Portoalegre, Brasil), ISCTE (Lisbon), CRIC (Manchester), Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) and Universidad Carlos III (Madrid). I am currently Professor of Management at UVigo. My research agenda falls at the intersection of business strategy, innovation and operational excellence. I am interested in R&D efficiency, shorter lead times and less CO2 emissions throughout the value chain. My research has been published in Business Strategy and the Environment, Cambridge Jnal. of Economics, Climate Policy, Competitiveness Review, Computers and Operations Research, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Harvard Business Review, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Industrial and Corporate Change, Industrial Marketing Management, Intnal. Jnal. of Lean Six Sigma, Jnal. of Manufacturing Systems, Jnal. of Operations Management, Long Range Planning, Management and Organization Review, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Regional Studies, Research Policy, Supply Chain Management: Intnal. Jnal., Technology Analysis and Strategic Management. I also cooperate regularly with public institutions, such as the Interamerican Development Bank, Ministry of Science, several Departments of the Galician Government (GAIN, IGAPE, ACIS, IGE) and Vigo's Free Trade Consortium. Simultaneously, I have cooperated with firms in the food, apparel, pharma, software and automotive industries (e.g., Altran, Jealsa, Pescanova, Stellantis, Syngenta), as well as with technological centers such as TECNALIA, AIMEN, CECOPESCA or CETMAR. Finally, I have been a counselor for the Economic and Social Council of Galicia (2007-2018), and currently serve as the Vice President of the Spanish Academy of Management (ACEDE).
