Manuel Zaera

Chief Innovation Officer at Nationale - Nederlanden

My experience and deep interests:

• Community & Ecosystem Building

• Strategy

I was referred to THNK by Virginie Gonzalez. 

Born and raised in Zaragoza (Spain), I have spent most of my career in The Netherlands, where I moved after finishing my studies in Vienna (Austria). Currently, I live in Madrid, where I am the Chief HR Officer with NN Group Spain. Prior to that, I was Business Manager for the CEO Insurance International at NN Group in its headquarters in Amsterdam. 

By background, I am a Telecommunication Engineer, specialized in Telematics. However, my interest lies in people and business management, to which I devote my career.

Very often I go traveling, which is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. As well as going to the gym or doing sports, to keep body and mind fit for the long run. I also love jumping into new adventures, innovating and celebrating life.
