Biography
The son of a Spanish father and a German mother, Romero-Abreu was educated in Cádiz until he moved to Madrid to study Law and Business Administration at ICADE (Universidad Pontificia Comillas), completing his Business Administration studies at Universidad Antonio de Nebrija. He remains professionally connected to his home province, which led him to co-found the association La11MIL, aimed at showcasing the potential of the Cádiz province.[5]
He is a direct descendant of Joaquín Abreu y Orta, a deputy during the Cortes of Cádiz and an early introducer of Charles Fourier’s utopian socialism in Spain.[6]
Professional career
At age 23, while still completing his studies, Romero-Abreu founded the speakers’ bureau Thinking Heads.[7][8] Fifteen years later, he developed the Leader Positioning Strategy (LPS) methodology,[9] transforming Thinking Heads from a speakers’ bureau into a strategic consultancy specializing in leader positioning,[10][11][12] with offices in Madrid, Barcelona, and Miami.[13] His work has been recognized by national media[14] and internationally, such as in Vanity Fair. [15]
In 2015, he became the first non-Anglo-Saxon president of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB).[16][17] In June 2021, he was elected to the Social Council of Cádiz CF alongside other international professionals from Cádiz.[18]
He also founded The Global Analysis and Trends in Emerging Regions (GATE Center).
Education and support for youth
He is a member of the Adjunct Faculty at IE University, teaching entrepreneurship, marketing, and sales,[19] and has lectured on personal positioning in pharmaceutical sector MBA programs. He has served as a judge for the Speaker Talent competition.[20]
He actively supports young entrepreneurs, acting as an advisory board member for projects and associations such as ILUMNO Foundation (Board of Trustees), The Heroes Club,[21] and Solidarios para el Desarrollo,[22] which also works with the prison community. He is a fellow of the Aspen Institute Spain and, due to his dual nationality, served on the Board of the Spanish-German Circle of Young Executives in Madrid.
