I witnessed the founding of GMV firsthand as an intern in 1984 in Juan José Martínez García’s laboratory. When I came onboard, there were five or six of us. From the start, the entrepreneurship we now associate with startups was front and center: the goal was to get top talent excited, dare to do it all, dream big, evolve fast. I only left GMV to fly higher, and I am proud to see what a great company it has become.

GMV is forty years old, and in my family we have been wearing the T-shirt for the last thirty years. In GMV, my first company, I found the rigorousness that defined my professional ethics and the values that have marked my career. But GMV gave me much more. Friendships were forged that last to today. I met my wife, and together we built our family. I have worked for other companies, but I have always worn the GMV T-shirt with pride and deep gratitude. Congratulations on these 40 years!

I still remember vividly the day Professor Martínez and I closed the deal for me to join GMV. He was a bit concerned because I didn’t exactly fit their profile of promising young talent, and I was excited to join a young and select group of technology experts. My time at GMV enriched and rejuvenated me. Thank you and congratulations on your 40th anniversary.

GMV is where I gained my first professional experience. I was there for 16 years and enjoyed an environment that encouraged teamwork and the drive to improve. I’ve sought to continue applying these values in the aviation security work I’ve done since then. I’m convinced that they are among the keys to both professional and personal success.

I consider myself part of the team that laid the groundwork for the great company GMV is today. The human factor is what made it possible: boundless collaboration, ambition in the best sense of the word, a passion for taking on new challenges, full availability to organize ourselves into ad hoc groups, technical excellence, hard work. Success belonged to everyone. And finally, the outstanding human quality: I still have great friends there.
