FOUNDER
Jordi Munoz-Pons, Founder & CEO
Passionate about science and technology since my early youth, I have spent more than 25 years turning ambitious concepts into systems that operate in space, in the air, at sea and on Earth. I have built organisations from scratch and led transformations within established structures, from start-ups to multinationals, from agile processes to rigorous certifications. Nova Cogito was born to open new horizons, in a spirit of collaboration: next-generation space systems, and intelligent, frugal systems for industry and the environment. This experience also informs the way we support leaders in their structural decisions.
