19 | | NOVEMBER 2026I believe innovation should enhance learning, strengthen teaching, and create meaningful opportunities for studentsthan following trends. Our initiatives span technology, robotics, new methodologies, and partnerships enabling student-athletes to balance academics with professional sport. We pilot ideas, gather feedback, and assess their impact before expanding them. Technology can enhance learning, but students will always need teachers who understand, challenge, and inspire them.What major leadership challenge did you encounter while scaling Mas Camarena, and how did it transform your management approach?My greatest lesson was recognising that the leadership model that enables initial growth may not support sustainable expansion. I could no longer personally supervise everything without limiting the organisation. I had to move from control to trust, from solving every problem myself to helping others learn to solve them and from individual to distributed leadership. I believe a leader's strongest legacy is building an institution that continues to learn, evolve, and succeed without depending on any one person.How do you see artificial intelligence transforming teaching, learning, and school leadership in the coming years?AI offers exciting opportunities for personalised learning, feedback, teacher support, and more efficient school management. However, it also requires us to rethink what students need to learn. Critical thinking, creativity, ethical reasoning, communication, and sound judgement will become increasingly important. I believe AI will make excellent teachers even more valuable because human relationships and meaningful learning experiences remain essential. School leaders must encourage responsible experimentation, establish ethical frameworks, and invest in professional development rather than adopting technology simply because it is new.What is your long-term vision for Mas Camarena, and what legacy do you hope to leave for future generations?My ambition is not to build the largest educational organisation but one that makes a lasting impact. I want Mas Camarena to combine academic excellence with wellbeing, encourage innovation while preserving educational values, and prepare students to contribute positively to the world. I also believe established institutions must share their knowledge and collaborate internationally. Having inherited a family educational legacy, my responsibility is to honour its values while transforming it for the future. True legacy means preserving the essence of what we inherit while having the courage to evolve.
