My name is Alejandro López Nadal, and I was born in Valencia (Spain) but I have grew up mainly in Spain, but not only. In fact, I am still growing and learning what those around me want to teach me. I have visited quite a few countries and I try to travel more and see other places in the world. I have a tab on this page where I show some of the places where  I've been.

​

I studied a 5-year career, Industrial Engineering, where I learned not only the subjects they teach you, but also see beyond. But more important was and is my family, I want to thank my parents for everything they have helped me and pushed me to study more and better, without them I would never have been able to finish my degree and work now in what I like the most.  

​

Starting:

While I was studying I worked in two companies, in one of them I worked in an electronics repair chain (IS2, now POAS, in Madrid). Then, during my last years of the degree, I worked in Siemens, as assistant to the project manager in a turnkey project that consisted of the construction of a Combined Cycle power generation plant (1,400 MW)

​

Hard beginnings:

I am an intense person, willing to work, with a good attitude to work in a team or alone. As an example, during my first job after graduation, I worked as a programmer and functional with Navision (ERP similar to SAP), programming is generally a lonely job, but I turned out to have good skills and within a few weeks I found myself leading small projects (and some not so small). The experience was very good but very complicated due to the long working hours and the high stress , but it prepared me for the following years and currently I have not worked as demanding as in those years.

​

Railway Environment:

Shortly after becoming a programmer, I switched to another type of job, something more tangible, thus beginning my stage at Albatros SI, where I spent almost 5 years with part of a large group. We were a very heterogeneous team, but the good atmosphere, the best boss and some good colleagues resulted in well-finished and satisfactory projects . Mainly I maintained and installed a lot of different equipment and systems, although I also started to excel in equipment management and as a railway expert. This was my first contact with the world of trains, its complexity and variety made me fall in love with it.

​

Shortly before Albatros SI closed (2013) due to the economic crisis, in 2012 I moved to Colway Industrial (CWI) , without leaving the exciting railway world, they hired me as Project Manager (one of €1.6M and another of €2.2M) . Little by little I increased my responsibilities with other issues, such as Sales, starting a small R&D department or preparing the workshop in Madrid, not to forget the technical assistance in Cairo. Colway was a good company to grow up in, I had great colleagues, interesting projects and very strong financial backing.

​

Brief railway pause:

After the closure of the projects in Colway, I decided to change the environment a bit, not forgetting the railway field as I was responsible for the accounts of the railway HVAC&R manufacturers, I focused on sales as a Technical Sales Manager at Sanhua International Europe . It is a job that I quite liked and in which I had great milestones. Not counting plane or train trips, I traveled more than 60,000km in a year and a half , hundreds of appointments with distributors and potential clients and a record of 14 visits in one day . Regarding my objectives, the first year I had a good result and that gave rise to doubling them, a fact that did not prevent me from having 75% billed in August and more than 90% planned.  until the end of the year. However, that August they made me an offer that was difficult to refuse.
