A business strategist, systems thinker, and connector of people, ideas, and futures.
Tomas Moreno Cebrian-Sagarriga grew up in Madrid with a natural tendency to observe. He paid attention to how things worked: not just ideas, but people, systems, and decisions. He never felt a rush to speak. He preferred to understand.
He studied business and strategy at IE University, later continuing his education at Northeastern University. Throughout his studies, he looked for ways to bridge theory and action. Early on, he launched a small venture. It wasn’t part of a bigger plan. He simply wanted to learn by doing. The company grew, built a community, and was eventually acquired. What stayed with him wasn’t the outcome. It was the process. The sense of responsibility. The way leading something real forces you to slow down and pay attention to what matters.
“You learn a lot when something grows quicker than you expected. But you learn even more when you’re responsible for what happens next.”
After that, Tomas moved through several environments such as entrepreneurship, consulting, venture capital, and public-private strategy. He wasn’t chasing status, but staying close to the places where meaningful work was happening. He supported early-stage companies, advised leadership teams, and helped organizations rethink how they grow and why they operate the way they do.
What connects all of it is a steady focus on structure. On making things clearer. On helping people and systems align so they can move forward with confidence and care.
Today, he leads Growth and Institutional Relations at a global design and strategy consultancy based in Madrid. He works across Europe, the United States, and Japan, supporting projects in strategy, transformation, and long-term positioning. His work often begins in moments of change, helping organizations make sense of complexity and design ways to grow that are both ambitious and grounded.
Tomas is also a partner at Aswan Group and a Venture Partner at Enzo Ventures, where he supports founders working through early challenges and strategic decisions. In parallel, he collaborates with institutions on topics related to leadership, economic change, and systems design.
He also serves as President of the Youth Economic Circle in Madrid. The platform hosts regular conversations between senior leaders and emerging voices. For Tomas, these spaces matter because they slow things down. They create space to think more carefully and more collectively.
He has continued his education through programs at MIT, Georgetown, Bocconi, and Techstars, but what shapes his thinking most is the work itself: the conversations, the decisions, and the people trying to do good work quietly and well.
“A good strategy shouldn’t impress. It should make things clearer. Simpler. It should give people confidence to move forward.”
