Summary
Rafael Pagés is an experienced founder and CEO with over a decade building products at the intersection of AI, volumetric video and immersive tech. As co-founder of Volograms he has brought single-phone 3D capture from research to market, launching products that have processed millions of models and powered campaigns for brands like HUGO BOSS and Vodafone. His background blends academic rigor—a PhD and postdoctoral research in 3D reconstruction and computer vision—with hands-on product leadership, patent-backed innovation and startup wins. He teaches and mentors at IE University and industry programs, translating deep technical knowledge into practical capture and integration best practices. Based in Madrid, he combines entrepreneurial grit with a creative, multidisciplinary approach (and a well-documented love of coffee and cameras). Unusually for a CEO, he continues to lead product management day-to-day, bridging research prototypes to commercial volumetric platforms.
