My Red Couch Talk with Inigo Lopez
Inigo Lopez is a recognized leader in the Global Mobility industry, having positioned BiCortex Languages & Translations as a benchmark for high-quality language services. Before founding BiCortex, he co-founded Eszett Business Language Services and held senior roles in Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support across the Telecommunications, Software Development, IT, and International Trading sectors.
Inigo landed in the Global Mobility industry by chance in 2015, after 15 years in Satellite Communications, and quickly found it to be the ideal arena for his international expertise and multicultural background. Having lived in Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, and Brazil, he considers himself both multicultural and a global citizen, and he travels extensively for both professional and personal pursuits.
He is a native Spanish speaker with business-level fluency in English, French, and Portuguese, and intermediate proficiency in German and Italian. Inigo holds an MA in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Cantabria and an Executive MBA from ESIC.
