Based in Madrid, Álvaro is a partner in the retail banking and wealth management industry and in the payments capability.
With more than 20 years of experience combining C-level positions, Tier 1 management consulting leadership and investor roles, Álvaro joins Oliver Wyman after seven years as a managing director and partner at BCG, where he led payments and fintechs for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and South America.
Over the course of his career, Álvaro has worked with a range of financial services companies to help them address issues related to strategy, business development, and corporate development, leading successful IPO, acquisitions, joint ventures, or divestitures.

What truly motivates me is serving leading organizations that seek to transform their businesses, developing high-performing teams, continuing to learn from curious and intelligent people, and growing an international platform. There is so much impact we can have in the payments and fintech space
