Irene Lopez de Vallejo


Hi All! I´m Irene. Met Stacco through Ruth Catlow/Furtherfield end of 2018 in London, and I haven´t looked back!! My background is sociology (organisational/industrial, how organisations work), economics (how the EU functions and distribute its resources) and architecture (how buildings and people interact and produce knowledge, ideas, new workplaces, new organisations etc). Have always worked around tech – it is a currrrrse – and love the socio economic behavioural aspects of taking cool tech to companies and to the people that operate inside. Loved the DisCO proposition from minute zero and am keen to see it through to a tangible, digestible for the ordinary person, product/s that make working environments better fairer happier more inclusive places. Got experience in public funding, a good network in digital including blockchain and AI (know where to knock) and mentoring tech start ups.

Some funny tips about me:
