Martin Campos, Machi Investor MACHI & THE JETSMartín del Arco, Gonzalo Managing Director Grupo Agora Invest (Tradisa & Arketipo)Martin Lozano, Belén Managing Partner – Manager Barcelona Area EVOLUTION YACHTS, S.LMartin Lozano, Belén Managing Partner – Manager Barcelona AreaI am from Barcelona. I studied Communication Sciences in Bellaterra, and although my goal was to become a journalist, I ended up graduating in Advertising and PR. I combined my work in communication agencies and commercial departments of several companies with my career as an elite athlete (although unpaid) until 1998. In September of that same year, I loaded my entire life into my Fiat Uno, and went to work in a private villa in Provence for a year and a half with my husband (now ex-husband). In 2000 I embarked as a stewardess on private yachts of American owners based mostly in Antibes (South of France) and sailed for 2 summers. In 2001 I returned to Barcelona and sailed with my ex-husband on a Spanish owned yacht for 5 summers. In September 2005, and after saving for 7 years (...), I achieved my second goal, because the first one I couldn't, which was to start my own company: J&B (from John and Belén) Yacht Services. In 2007 we were contacted by an international group of the sector (YCO Management) and they offered us to run their office in Barcelona, called Yacht Help Group. In October 2010, and after 3 very hard years with them, we decided to go back to our entrepreneurial side but this time together with our powerful partners in Palma, and we created EVOLUTION. EVOLUTION started with 7 people and today we are almost 55 people in staff between the Balearic Islands and Barcelona. We are leaders in Spain and a world reference in our sector. Today EVOLUTION is part of an international network of independent agents called WORLD LEAGUE of AGENTS, founded by me this year to fulfill my ultimate goal which is the international projection of our great company.
