Inma offers great insight into innovation technologies and the transformation of technology. She is a profound believer in technologies that reduce man’s alienation when confronting technical complexities. She supports very strongly the concepts of brand-value, and the respect for human “illogical thinking processes” whenever new applications come to market. She is also regularly invited to industry conferences as a speaker on mobile and web technologies, as well as on entrepreneurial issues such as growth, funding, selling technology products to consumers and how the social web is transforming corporations. Working across a wide variety of projects, she considers herself fortunate and honoured to have been directly involved in the emergence of many of today’s digital technologies (Web 2.0, Mobile, Wifi, Blogs).[/expand]
An experienced speaker and conferences moderator Inma is relaxed, enthusiastic and a quick witted communicator. In her presentations her passion for new media and the future of technology is clear and apparent.
