About me
Bernardo Crespo
More than 25 years leading digital transformation and data strategy. Executive at Fortune 500 companies (BBVA, Merkle), Academic Director at IE and CEO of Quantum Markethink.

I help leaders get beyond the hype.
I have spent more than 25 years in digital transformation and data strategy. I have held executive roles at Fortune 500 companies and at digital consultancies, and I have founded and advised several startups and venture builders.
I ran digital marketing at BBVA — where I pioneered gamification in banking — and led digital transformation at Merkle. In 2016, EXPANSIÓN named me one of Spain's 50 leading experts in digital transformation.
Today, as CEO of Quantum Markethink, I work alongside senior decision-makers so they understand digital change and decide with judgement. And for over a decade I have been teaching executives at IE about emerging technologies, digital strategy, data strategy and artificial intelligence.
I write about all of it in The Data Mindset Playbook and in my learnings.
