JOSE MANUEL

GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ

FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF IDESA UNTIL 2014

Sánchez, as he is known in the industrial world, was born in Córdoba and is Asturian by adoption. A technical engineer by vocation, he worked for over 25 years at Duro Felguera Heavy Boiler Works.

In 1993, during a full industrial crisis, he founded Ingeniería y Diseño Europeo, SA. (IDESA) with the aim of enabling the twelve Asturian workshops that formed the company to jointly access the international market for capital goods.

IDESA evolved from being the coordinating engineering firm for the work of these workshops to a leading manufacturer, with its own personnel and workshops.

In 2014, IDESA was sold to the Daniel Alonso Group, which has over 500 employees between its office and workshop.

His extensive technical and management experience, his capacity for innovation, and his positive outlook on life, business, and people make him a valuable advisor who, although retired, still has much to contribute.

With an algorithmic approach to problem-solving and a fascination for geometry, shapes, and nature-inspired optimization processes, Santiago has spent the last 10 years exploring the most innovative technology and design processes for people.

He worked for 2 years as a Design Technician for Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) at Prodintec (Technology Center in Asturias).

He founded Vortica in 2010, a business project focused on generative design (algorithms + geometry), and since 2018, he has been living in Galway (Ireland) as a Prin. Human Factors Design & Engineer at Medtronic, developing more usable medical devices. A pair of running shoes, a fishing rod, and a beer with friends would complete Santiago's profile.
