Biography:
A passionate communicator and storyteller, Fidel is wired for narrative and driven by curiosity. His passion for language began early, leading him to study Translation and Interpreting at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, followed by a degree in Journalism at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. He began his career fine-tuning the words of others — editing and proofreading across media outlets — before stepping fully into journalism.
From translating for major publications in Spain to reporting in France for AFP and Euronews, Fidel has always followed the story wherever it led. Back in Spain, he shaped narratives for FC Barcelona and Diario AS, where he also took on the fast-paced world of social media.
A lifelong sports enthusiast with a love for language and digital strategy, he now blends storytelling with marketing — helping brands and people speak with clarity, creativity, and purpose.
