    Juan Diaz-Andreu

With 8 years of teaching experience, Profesor Juan Díaz-Andreu García is an expert in Business Development in Technology companies. In the last years, he has focused on value creation in the IT arena. “After the dot-com crash in the early 2000s, investors are more demanding when it comes to the return on their investments in technology”, says Juan, who assures that Technology will continue to provide a competitive advantage in certain sectors. The biggest challenge for companies today is to align their strategy and the way they use technology, while taking into account the human factor, which is many times forgotten in the decision-making process”, Juan adds.
