Our Leadership Team
Our senior leadership team combines a global perspective, extensive industry expertise, and a passion for using technology to address real-world consumer problems.
Ángel Hidalgo
International Chief Growth Officer
Born in Barcelona, globetrotting Angel co-founded Rastreator.com as CIO back in 2009 and was instrumental in building the brilliant team and special culture that makes the brand so unique today.
Since then he has held multiple roles including Online Marketing Director and Head of Multiproduct, in addition to assisting with Techlens Global.
With both parents as Doctors, Angel was faced with a tricky decision between studying Computer Science Engineering and Medicine at degree level. He’s never looked back though, and having completed his degree at Newcastle University in the UK, he carried out a Masters in Open Source Software in Liege, Belgium.
With a passion for knowing and understanding different cultures, Angel’s mantra is, ‘Never turn more years than countries you have visited’. With 90 countries under his belt so far, we think he’s in a good place for the years ahead.
