Before founding JPA, José held senior managerial and executive roles within two of Europe's largest energy corporations, where he designed and directed global intelligence architecture and led crisis management operations across high-risk regions. His responsibilities included geopolitical positioning, international negotiations, and the protection of multi-billion-dollar strategic assets in volatile environments.

His professional experience combines field work and strategic advisory across the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Central Asia, and the Asia-Pacific — including crisis response during political upheavals, evacuation operations, and post-conflict stabilization environments. This field experience directly informs his analytical work on risk anticipation, strategic resilience, and institutional decision-making under uncertainty.

José serves as Spain's delegate within NATO expert groups focused on energy security, hybrid threats, and anticipatory intelligence, contributing to analytical work on strategic culture, systemic risk, and evolving security dynamics across the Arctic, Baltic, and Black Sea regions.

He has served as panel member at the Real Instituto Elcano — both the Energy and Defence programmes — Spain's leading foreign policy think tank.

José's early strategic assessments include:

  • The systemic economic and political impacts of COVID-19 — including capturing the needs of lockdown and escalation phases, shifts in global demand patterns and macroeconomic disruptions — 2019, before they were broadly recognized.

  • The structural implications of the Euromaidan crisis for a wider Russia-Ukraine conflict (2013); prospects for war.

  • Libya's post-Gaddafi trajectory across short-, medium- and long-term horizons (2011), including corporate posture and investment environment

  • The geopolitical logic and expected duration of the Qatar Gulf crisis (2017). (.../...)

José regularly advises senior executives, institutional leaders, and policy decision-makers on strategic foresight, geopolitical risk, crisis governance, and long-term competitive positioning in complex international environments.

He is the author of the weekly Sunday CEO Strategic Insights — a series of reflections on power, strategy, and geopolitical foresight aimed at senior decision-makers, published on LinkedIn.
