Jordi started his entrepreneurial career in 1997, after drinking half a bottle whiskey with his brother (who drank the other half).
Together they founded SBD in Barcelona, a professional services firm who had over 200 consultants by 2004 and was acquired by the French firm Alten Technologies.
Jordi founded Inbenta in 2005 to help customers improve online relationships with their customers using revolutionary technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing.
The first beta version of Inbenta Semantic Search Engine was released in 2010, thanks to an awesome team composed of linguists, software architects and customer care specialists.
Since 2012 Jordi lives in California, …and he stopped drinking whiskey.

Julio was walking down the street peacefully and suddenly someone shouted aloud “-What’s uuuuuuuup!!!” from a car. It was the former boss from his first job: Mr Torras. After a few days, while having lunch together, they agreed to collaborate on Inbenta’s startup project, eventually. Nowadays he is doing his best as the Country Manager in Spain. What does a Country Manager do? Who cares…

After 8 years as Inbenta CTO, Ferran is now playing the COO role inside the company.
Ferran is in charge of: quality control of the product development process, presales engineering, internal support, recruiting and training the technical team, evaluating and prioritizing R&D developments, and designing and monitoring the production environment.
When not working, you’ll probably find Ferran headbanging with the sound of some progressive metal band.

When Caterina finished her studies, she started working as a language teacher. But she soon got tired of teaching languages to noisy human beings, so she decided to teach them to computers and was coincidentially hired as a computational linguist at Inbenta. That was back in 2006.
She is currently the head of the linguistic team in the company and is an active member of Inbenta’s Festivities Comittee. The rest of her time is spent feeding friends with croquettes, eating films and carrying out subversive cultural activities.

Lu(ke) joined the Catalan Rebel Alliance, inbenta, in Barcelona in 2009. After 2 years of Jedi training below Yodi Torras, Luke finally learnt how to master the Force and started his own adventure back to France in Toulouse where he raised in March 2012, the French Rebel Alliance, inbenta France. With a handfuls of young Jedis, his main objective is now to become the leader company in customer self-care and assistance solutions in the Banking and Insurance Sector, the only way he thinks that may put the Galactic Empire in a very difficult position..

When not devoting time to his quest at inbenta, Luke is teaching e-business and e-marketing among different MBAs, DBAs and Masters in the whole galaxy, including France and Spain 🙂 He’s also improving every week his swimming skills to beat Jar Jar Binks, making some loops with the Millennium Falcon on his PS3 and visiting (too often) the Cantina with his fellows Han and Chewie.

PS: my Dark Father made me build a serious resume on Linkedin so please visit it before he spanks me with his lightsaber!

Àngel studied computer science at UAB University. Later, while working, he realized the importance of applying technology to business, so he earned his MBA with a concentration in marketing at ESADE Business School. Throughout his career, he has worked with different companies focusing on communication and technology. In 2010, he moved to Brazil where he is currently responsible for Inbenta’s growth within that country. He hates having to call into call centers and that’s why he loves his work at Inbenta. Helping others not having to waste their time on the phone but rather online, is a better experience for customers. When Àngel is not working, you’ll find him with his family or maybe practicing Aikido.

José Luis, otherwise known as JL, has more than 30 years of experience in the management of projects and services obtained from his work in various companies and clients of all kinds and sectors. He met and collaborated with Jordi Torras a long time ago in SBD, a professional services firm in Barcelona. He joined Inbenta in 2017 as Head of Services.
He’s an enthusiast of technology and customer service. He appreciates order and suffers from chaos. He is also a cinephile and fan of the “scientific documentaries” and loves to surround himself with his family and friends in front of a good meal / table.

Born in Barcelona and trained long ago in the misteries of multimedia engineering, Noel joined the company in december of 2012. After many years as an R+D developer and leading small teams, he is now in charge of the Platform Chapter. You can find him jabberwocking about code and technical “things” while time travelling between one meeting to another, organizing the work of the different platform tribes and helping them to develop new features for the “core” of our software. In his wild life, he spends most of the time playing, music and videogames, watching tv shows, taking photos or doing other 21st century hobbies.

Sofia comes from large companies operating in banking, automotive and infrastructure sectors worldwide. Before joining Inbenta, Artificial Intelligence sounded more like a Sci-Fi book rather than something she’d be helping create every day. She can now proudly say she knows what NLP, APIs, Webhooks and SDKs are. She studied Economics in Zaragoza, finished her degree in the Netherlands, got her Master’s degree in Barcelona and lived for a year in the US. Now in Madrid and with a 3-year-old, she reads everything she can find about positive discipline, nonviolent communication and Montessori pedagogy.
