Faculty Profile

Roberto Hortal, a world-class product leader and innovator, builder of empowered teams, advisor, mentor and coach will help you become the kind of product manager that inspires empowered teams to create great products.

Following a long and successful international product leadership career, Roberto recently relocated to Barcelona to lead the global Product and Technology teams at Wall Street English.

Roberto started building technology products at Nokia, moving on to lead easyJet's disruption of the airline industry as its Head of Digital Products, creating many world-first products along the way.
