About

A bridge between
two markets

I am a final-year Business Management student at Oxford Brookes University, graduating May 2026, with a BBA in Business Administration from EU Business School Geneva.

My academic and professional focus sits at the intersection of Private Equity, M&A advisory and value creation in transport, logistics and renewable infrastructure — applied to the Spain–Morocco trade corridor.

Three summers of port-side operations at Nador (Somanador and Navantia Shipping) and Rabat (Agriland) gave me a working knowledge of how cargo, customs and capital actually move between Europe and North Africa — the same flows now being reshaped by Nador West Med, opening 2026.

International Formation

Dual degree across Oxford Brookes and EU Business School Geneva. Master's in Artificial Intelligence in progress at Universidad Isabel I.

Corridor Expertise

Three internships at the Port of Nador and in Rabat. First-hand exposure to project cargo, vessel agency and perishable export logistics.

Research

Dissertation —
the Nador corridor

Oxford Brookes · 2025–2026

Supply chain analysis of AEOLON–NORDEX at the Port of Nador West Med

Inbound sourcing of raw materials from Asia and Europe, and outbound export of wind turbine blades to European markets.

The dissertation maps the supply chain of the AEOLON wind farm and the NORDEX N175 blade flow through the Port of Nador, applying Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and the Resource-Based View (RBV) to the wind industry, project cargo logistics and emerging infrastructure.

It builds on first-hand fieldwork during the Somanador internship — the discharge of NORDEX N175 blades aboard the M/V Superfast Levante in November and December 2025 — and connects operational reality with the strategic implications of Nador West Med, the deep-water port opening 2026 that will reshape container and energy logistics across the Western Mediterranean.

Experience

Three summers
at the port edge

May – Aug 2025

Somanador S.A. — Port of Nador, Morocco

Logistics & Port Operations Intern

  • Discharge and handling of NORDEX N175 wind turbine blades (M/V Superfast Levante, Nov/Dec 2025) bound for the AEOLON wind farm: cradles, lifting plans, customs coordination, and interface with OEM, EPC contractor and port authority.
  • Multimodal shipment tracking (FTL and groupage) across the Morocco–Spain corridor: lead-time analysis, cost structure and backhaul economics on legs returning empty after wind-component deliveries.
  • Customs clearance cycles under Somanador's AEO status (BLs, manifests, import/export declarations) and the working-capital impact of detention and demurrage.
  • Port operational KPIs (berth occupancy, vessel turnaround, dwell time) in the run-up to the 2026 opening of Nador West Med.
  • Daily interface with shipping lines, freight forwarders, port authorities and customs in Spanish, French and English.
  • Direct exposure to the cost and cycle levers driving operator margins in port logistics — relevant to transport, logistics and infrastructure analysis in PE and M&A.
Jul – Aug 2023

Navantia Shipping — Port of Nador, Morocco

Logistics & Port Operations Intern

  • Supported vessel-agency operations: arrival/departure documentation, port-call coordination, and interface with customs, pilots, towage and stevedoring.
  • Tracked operational and commercial KPIs (turnaround, port costs, counterparty performance) — foundation for understanding ship-agency unit economics.
  • Project-cargo documentation (including wind components) involving non-standard handling and multi-stakeholder cross-border coordination.
  • Multilingual environment (ES/EN/FR) with shipowners, charterers, port authorities and inland carriers.
Jul – Aug 2022

Agriland SARL — Rabat, Morocco

Trade & Export Operations Intern

  • Supported export logistics of perishable agricultural products to European buyers: cost / transit-time / quality trade-offs typical of fresh-produce supply chains.
  • Analysed distribution routes and proposed improvements to reduce transit times to export ports.
  • Reviewed shipping and customs documentation alongside producers, forwarders and customs brokers.
  • End-to-end view of the farm-to-international-freight chain, connecting directly to the maritime side of the same Morocco–Europe trade flows.
