How Eva is shaping the future with confidence

My journey across countries has shaped my character and professional career. It has strengthened my commitment to mentoring others and growing alongside my teams and clients. Developing a truly international network has enhanced my leadership approach, enabling me to connect talent, ideas and opportunities across borders and drive meaningful impact for clients.

I actively contribute to building inclusive, forward-looking communities through my involvement in the EY Women in Private Equity Network, the British Spanish Society, and the London chapter of the Spanish Club of Executive Females. Through these platforms, I help foster collaboration, support diverse talent and contribute to a more connected and confident future for the private equity ecosystem.
