Luis Abad joins Babel’s Advisory Board, bringing his experience in management, leadership and the transformation of large organisations to strengthen Babel’s ability to undertake larger-scale, more transformative projects.
Throughout his career, Abad has led major technology organisations, integration and transformation processes, and complex operations for large clients. As a member of the Advisory Board, he will bring this expertise to some of the challenges arising from Babel’s new scale: how to grow while maintaining the agility that characterises the company, how to integrate capabilities and teams, and how to build more strategic relationships with large organisations.
His appointment comes at a particularly significant time for Babel. The company is entering a new stage of growth with a clear ambition: to consolidate its position among the leading technology players, strengthen its presence as a technology partner to major organisations, and undertake increasingly strategic, complex and global projects.
“We want to continue strengthening our presence in the market. We have the talent, technological capabilities, financial strength and experience to turn projects into transformational initiatives with greater impact on our clients’ businesses. Luis has an in-depth understanding of the sector and its business dynamics, and his experience will help us become more competitive, identify new ways to create value, grow and accelerate our global expansion,” says Tony Olivo, CEO of Babel.
Luis Abad has more than three decades of experience in consulting and technology. From 2021 to 2026, he served as CEO of Capgemini Spain, where he led the company following the integration of Altran. Previously, he was CEO of Altran Spain and Senior Vice President of Altran Iberia, after holding several senior management positions within the group, including global roles in telecommunications, financial services, transformation and major operations.
Before joining Altran, he was a Partner at Ernst & Young Consulting and Vice President at Capgemini Ernst & Young.
“Babel has built a company with very strong capabilities, talent and an approach to client relationships that represents a genuine competitive advantage. The challenge now is to build on this foundation to continue gaining scale and play an increasingly significant role in its clients’ major decisions and transformations. It is a highly ambitious project, and I am excited to contribute my experience at this new stage by supporting and advising Babel’s management team,” says Luis Abad.
His appointment strengthens the role of the Advisory Board as a body supporting Babel’s strategy, providing an external perspective that helps assess priorities, anticipate risks and enhance decision-making.
With this appointment, Babel continues to bring in top-level knowledge and experience to drive its Hyperspace 2029 Strategic Plan, advance towards the objectives set for 2027, and consolidate its position as a trusted partner for major organisations.
