María Porta Ferrer

Specialities: Executive coaching, which consists of establishing an ongoing professional relationship to enable the coachee to:

• Develop further learning and discovery
• Commit to new actions
• Achieve extraordinary results in the professional sphere

My commitment to coachees is to provide them with a tool for developing their talent and potential starting in the present and moving towards the future. Over the course of the process, coachees learn to identify empowering or limiting beliefs, modify specific behaviours and develop skills to achieve their objectives. The process promotes a deeper understanding of how we relate to others and to ourselves.

Anthony Vallance-Owen

I am in the middle of my Full Time MBA (graduate 2022) and I am the current MBASA President.  Prior to the MBA I had a 14 year career with PwC spending approximately the first half in audit/ assurance and the last in M&A and capital markets. I had the opportunity to live and work in the UK and Vancouver as well as extensive travel around the world.  Although, as you have probably worked out, this “experience” puts me firmly at the older end of the MBA class!  

I am using the MBA to facilitate a move into the Healthcare sector, preferably in Barcelona, and with that in mind will be starting my internship with Werfen this summer.  

Outside of the MBA I enjoy spending time with my new born first child Guillermo and my wife Anna (originally from Barcelona) as well as being a passionate ultra runner.

Specialities: Executive coaching, which consists of establishing an ongoing professional relationship to enable the coachee to:

• Develop further learning and discovery
• Commit to new actions
• Achieve extraordinary results in the professional sphere

My commitment to coachees is to provide them with a tool for developing their talent and potential starting in the present and moving towards the future. Over the course of the process, coachees learn to identify empowering or limiting beliefs, modify specific behaviours and develop skills to achieve their objectives. The process promotes a deeper understanding of how we relate to others and to ourselves.

I had the opportunity to live and work in the UK and Vancouver as well as extensive travel around the world.  Although, as you have probably worked out, this “experience” puts me firmly at the older end of the MBA class!  

I am using the MBA to facilitate a move into the Healthcare sector, preferably in Barcelona, and with that in mind will be starting my internship with Werfen this summer.  

Outside of the MBA I enjoy spending time with my new born first child Guillermo and my wife Anna (originally from Barcelona) as well as being a passionate ultra runner.

Andreia Camichel-Fernandes

I guide my clients in creating satisfying career paths as well as dealing with challenges. My coachees range from diplomats to entrepreneurial professionals, working in corporations or building up their own ventures. Leaving your comfort zone may be scary at times, but it is a very rewarding growth experience. It’s lonely at the top, so having a trusted sparring partner who gives you honest and appreciative feedback is key. My coaching is resource- and system-oriented, but my toolbox comprises many more approaches which I apply in particular situations.

María Porta Ferrer

Specialities: Executive coaching, which consists of establishing an ongoing professional relationship to enable the coachee to:

• Develop further learning and discovery
• Commit to new actions
• Achieve extraordinary results in the professional sphere

My commitment to coachees is to provide them with a tool for developing their talent and potential starting in the present and moving towards the future. Over the course of the process, coachees learn to identify empowering or limiting beliefs, modify specific behaviours and develop skills to achieve their objectives. The process promotes a deeper understanding of how we relate to others and to ourselves.

Anthony Vallance-Owen

I am in the middle of my Full Time MBA (graduate 2022) and I am the current MBASA President.  Prior to the MBA I had a 14 year career with PwC spending approximately the first half in audit/ assurance and the last in M&A and capital markets. I had the opportunity to live and work in the UK and Vancouver as well as extensive travel around the world.  Although, as you have probably worked out, this “experience” puts me firmly at the older end of the MBA class!  

I am using the MBA to facilitate a move into the Healthcare sector, preferably in Barcelona, and with that in mind will be starting my internship with Werfen this summer.  

Outside of the MBA I enjoy spending time with my new born first child Guillermo and my wife Anna (originally from Barcelona) as well as being a passionate ultra runner.

Andreia Camichel-Fernandes

I guide my clients in creating satisfying career paths as well as dealing with challenges. My coachees range from diplomats to entrepreneurial professionals, working in corporations or building up their own ventures. Leaving your comfort zone may be scary at times, but it is a very rewarding growth experience. It’s lonely at the top, so having a trusted sparring partner who gives you honest and appreciative feedback is key. My coaching is resource- and system-oriented, but my toolbox comprises many more approaches which I apply in particular situations.
