Rubén joined Henko in early 2025 as part of the operational and financial portfolio management team. The opportunity to contribute to the building and development of a young yet ambitious project, along with the team’s dynamism, were the main factors that motivated him to join the firm.

Within the portfolio team, he plays an active role in the development, transformation, and growth of portfolio companies, working hand in hand with their teams to define, execute, and accelerate their respective value creation plans. Seeing firsthand the evolution and progress of each company is, without a doubt, one of the most rewarding aspects of his work.

Prior to joining Henko, Rubén worked at Alvarez & Marsal in the turnaround and operational and financial transformation practice, participating in national and international projects across multiple industries. He was also a partner at Helix, a technology startup specializing in Industry 4.0 software — an experience that allowed him to gain firsthand insight into the challenges and dynamics of the entrepreneurial and tech environment, as well as much of the Spanish industrial ecosystem.

Rubén holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Deusto and an Executive Master in Finance from IE Business School.

In his free time, he enjoys traveling, reading, and watching films, and — as one would expect from someone from Bilbao — football and good food, always in the company of friends.
