Joan A. Català Fundador de Leading-On y experto en astronomía

“I have a Master Degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics and a BSc in Chemistry. I am also an astrophotographer. I studied at IESE and at the Wharton School, and I have occupied top management positions in different companies. This has allowed me to directly get to know the link between business strategies and people.
From my experience, and thanks to this double vision, I founded Leading-On, to help people and organizations achieve their goals and activate transformation.
The universe has amazed me since I was a child. Now I link my professional experience with my knowledge in astronomy, to create this innovative, business-oriented product".
