Daniel leads 180 Degrees Consulting Madrid, managing a team of 60 students who provide pro bono consulting services to NGOs across different sectors. As a senior student in a dual business degree, he combines academic training with hands-on leadership in social impact work. He is actively involved in volunteering and nonprofit consulting, with a focus on how and why individuals engage in “altruistic” work. His perspective challenges traditional views of selflessness, exploring the role of personal motivation in acts of good and questioning whether self-interest can coexist with meaningful impact.
