Summary
Rafa Gross-brown is a Barcelona-based designer, artist and innovation leader with a decade of experience combining product design, UX, and corporate strategy across Telefónica and Wayra’s global innovation vehicles. Trained in law at Harvard and in interactive telecommunications at NYU Tisch, Rafa brings a rare blend of legal, technical and creative fluency—having worked as an attorney on international transactions before pivoting to personal data privacy, service design and product management. At Wayra he has led venture development and scouting for pre-seed/seed B2C digital startups across multiple ecosystems, while today shaping new trends at Wayra from Barcelona. Born and raised in Asunción with dual Paraguayan-Italian citizenship, he consistently threads artistic practice (drawing, painting, music) into human-centered digital products, lending projects an uncommon cultural and multidisciplinary perspective.
