Marianella Martínez Castellón de la Plana, Castellón, Spain (1972) Co-founder of two technological companies with international presence After finishing her studies in clinical psychology, she worked in the educational field. The observation and analysis of children's behaviors, and the search for possible solutions, allowed her to have an analytical approach to deal with challenges. She enjoys seeing that the same result can lead to different paths. When she had the opportunity to move to another country, she took advantage of the opportunity to do a master's degree in organizational psychology, which gave her some of the skills to become an entrepreneur. When she did not find what she considered to be the ideal job, she decided to focus on her entrepreneurial side. Today, in the technological innovation companies she co-founded (Roofeco and Blue Plasma Power), decisions are made on the basis of interdisciplinary analysis, which allows them to reach short-, medium- and long-term results. She believes that teamwork is fundamental to achieve milestones.
