Earlier this year, I asked @IESEbschool to begin looking for my replacement, as I wanted to return to a more hands-on #entrepreneurship role. First, I'm delighted to be replaced with @JosemariaSiota. Second, here's what is next: medium.com/@EddyZakes/the-ne…

So important for aspiring #entrepreneurs: "It isn't enough to do the numbers 'right', you have to do the RIGHT numbers." -- @IESEbschool Prof. @Palencia62. Good reminder to be inquisitive, dig deeper, and be intellectually honest as you validate your #startup.

For my Madrid-based, Spanish-speaking friends... We've launched a new "legal mentorship" offer from the IESE Venture Hub, and we're hosting a talk on Wednesday in Madrid on "La transformación de los servicios financieros": buff.ly/2RdQ8oy

Big congrats to my friend @RMolins on the release of his #novel “Tigre de Papel”! Although a work of fiction, it’s based on his years of research on illegal (+ often #endangered) #animaltrafficking, and I hope it brings further attention to this important issue. Well done, Roger!

“You can always, ALWAYS give something, even if it is only kindness” (Anne Frank). Thanks, @TalBenShahar, for a compelling talk on #happiness at the #IESEGAR.

Now Day 2 of the @IESEbschool #GlobalAlumniReunion. Fantastic to see so many @IESEalumni gathered because they care about “deep, positive, and lasting impact” via “professional excellence, integrity, and a spirit of service.”

Technology is just a TOOL, it isn’t the PURPOSE. You need to find the purpose of your #startup and, more importantly, your own purpose.

Last up for the #IESEGAR Entrepreneurship Day a panel on “Impact Startups”... Thanks, @emrefa of @AppSamurai, @earlkman of @Satellogic, Mohammad Khachab of BMB Group, and @gemmasorigue of @deliberryspain!
