MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

Hello, I'm Jorge!

 I’m a former corporate leader turned financial independence mentor.


After 15 years leading global teams at one of the world’s top companies, I realised the real breakthrough wasn’t the salary — it was learning to manage money with intention, invest wisely, and design a life I loved.


Today, I’m financially free. I swapped meetings for family breakfasts and office life for tropical adventures — all by taking control of my finances.


I didn’t start with wealth or connections. I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Madrid, struggled in school, and moved to Dublin without a job or English. I built it all from scratch — and now I help others do the same.

If you want to know how I went from lost in Dublin to leading high performing teams across Google Asia — and eventually walking away from it all to live life on my terms — you can read the full story here:

STEPPING STONES

A Life of Purpose and Adventure

 I was born in Madrid, the eldest of three, and grew up surrounded by joy and simplicity. But high school brought challenges — until a computer game, Civilization, sparked my passion for strategy and long-term thinking.


In 2000, I enrolled at ESIC Business School and discovered that what I loved in the game — planning, resource management, big-picture thinking — also applied to the world of business. That shift changed everything, reigniting my motivation and shaping the path ahead.

The Leap: Embracing the Unknown

 In 2004, at 29, I left Madrid for Dublin with no job and barely any English. I started from scratch — selling door-to-door and working as a cashier at Marks & Spencer. Those tough early days taught me grit and adaptability.


Back in Madrid a year later, I joined a company in office furniture and architectural products, where I learned the art of complex selling — a skill that would shape my future career.

Climbing the Corporate Ladder

 In 2006, I moved to London with one goal: land a job at a top multinational. After months of preparation, I landed an interview with Google Ireland — a moment that changed everything.


I joined Google Dublin in 2007, first supporting new advertisers, then working with larger clients across multiple sectors. By 2010, I was promoted to Manager, deepening my experience in leadership and sales strategy.

Asia: A New Chapter

 A backpacking trip to Singapore lit a spark — I knew I wanted to live and work in Asia. In 2012, after persistent effort, I joined Google Singapore. I went on to lead high-performing teams across the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, and beyond, consistently exceeding targets while immersing myself in Asia’s rich culture.


In 2017, I moved to Manila to head a global operation. The team tripled under my leadership, and I earned a promotion. By late 2018, I was back in Singapore — and finally felt at home.

Family and Financial Independence

 The birth of my daughter in Singapore in 2020 shifted my priorities. Recognising the importance of family connections, I decided to leave Google and return to Madrid. During this period, I focused on:


  • Building a solid financial foundation: Curating a diversified portfolio to ensure long-term security.
     
  • Nurturing family bonds: Spending quality time with my daughter and extended family.
     
  • Prioritising well-being: Embracing a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle.

Back to Asia: Enjoying freedom

 Since returning to Southeast Asia in July 2024, I’ve been embracing the endless summer — daily swims, incredible food, and vibrant adventures. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a new chapter fueled by curiosity, renewal, and a drive to keep dreaming big.


What started as a leap into the unknown became a life of meaning, freedom, and endless adventure — and I’m just getting started.


Dream big, take action, start now!

Dream big and enjoy the journey
