Presentation

Mauricio has been a faculty member at ESDES since 2018. He obtained a PhD in management from Neoma Business School, specializing in marketing. He is currently completing a PhD at the University of Reims Champagne Ardenne in the same field. His research focuses on the construction of markets, mainly for emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, virtual reality, robots, and on how these technology markets should develop processes allowing representation practices, exchange and standardization to legitimize the market and the technology to be appropriated. In his research, he used two main approaches: business networks as a fundamental element for the creation of sustainable business models, and the role of narratives in market creation processes as an agglutinating element in different market practices. He has published his research in industrial marketing journals. Prior to joining the academy, Mauricio was Director of Marketing and Communications for various companies, mainly in the fields of technology and education for ten years. He also has his own technology development company for the industrial and government sector.
