Born in Barcelona in 1987, Pau Garcia-Milà is an entrepreneur and communicator. He was 17 years old when he founded his first company, eyeOS, which was subsequently acquired by Telefónica. During that period, Pau was named Innovator of the Year in 2011 by MIT’s TR-35 and was honoured with the Prince of Asturias and Girona “IMPULSA Empresa 2010″ Award.

On the communication front, he is the author of four books about innovation, ideas and communication, and contributes to a host of media. He is a regular speaker at public and private events, where he advocates the culture of failure as a key part of success, and speaks about the need for companies to innovate from all departments so as not to lose their competitive edge.

USA Today and OZY magazine published an article about his work in June 2014.

Pau currently combines his work at his most recent venture, IdeaFoster, with lectures at ESADE (he teaches on the Masters in Digital Business). He is also an external expert working with the research team at the IMD’s VC2020 Research Centre.
