irene.ezquerra@atelieritd.org

Irene holds a PhD in Organizational Engineering and a degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Her doctoral research focused on the conditions that enable the development of collaboration capacities in individuals and organizations.

She is currently Technical Director at Atelier itd, where she supports the design, implementation, and evaluation of projects and strategic lines, while also coordinating the organizational learning strategy.

Previously, she was part of the team at the Innovation and Technology for Development Center (itdUPM), where she facilitated processes of change management, learning, and multi-actor collaboration, with a special focus on just transitions towards sustainability.

“My 3-year-old son’s Lego creations remind me that building is a shared process, where every piece matters. Sometimes it results in a wobbly tower, other times a spaceship or an unexpected structure—but always with experimentation, learning, and the joy of building together. In my work, as in those moments of play, I believe the most valuable transformations arise from collaboration, creativity, and the willingness to imagine possible futures.”
