Eatable Adventures, one of the leading Foodtech accelerators, has proudly reinforced its executive team with the expertise of Miguel Ángel Torres, who now assumes the role of CFO, and the leadership of Juan Carlos Fernández, appointed as the Head of People and Culture. These two strategic appointments enhance the company’s business structure, accelerating its growth and expansion not only within Spain but also across thriving international markets.
Miguel Ángel Torres has 20 years of experience in the financial field. He has led projects in various multinational environments, particularly in the retail, fintech, and business advisory sectors.

A graduate in Economics from the University of Granada, Torres is also a Certified Auditor and holds an MBA. Throughout his professional career, he has co-founded several projects and startups.
In his new role as CFO of Eatable Adventures, Miguel Ángel Torres will lead the financial management of the company and its investments in agrifoodtech startups, channeled through various acceleration programs that the company has launched in Spain, Italy, Colombia, and other markets. “I am excited to embark on this new project. The investment prospects in Foodtech for the next 10 years are excellent, not only due to the significant contribution of the agrifood sector to countries’ GDP but also because of increased social and environmental awareness regarding the long-term impact that food has on our health and the planet,” commented Torres.
Furthermore, the company has renewed its commitment to nurturing its global talent and fostering an efficient, inclusive, and growth-driven corporate culture with the addition of Juan Carlos Fernández as Head of People and Culture.

He holds a degree in Law from the University of Oviedo and has a Master’s in HR Management and HRCI certification.
“The work of Eatable Adventures has an impact on people’s lives and the future of the planet. My role is to contribute to generating the same positive impact within its team by implementing professional development programs and best practices to take care of the well-being of its employees, collaborating in the sustainable growth of the organization in all the markets in which it operates,” explained Juan Carlos Fernández.
This team expansion adds to the recent additions of Alberto Barbari as Program Director in Italy and Julia Espeso as Ecosystem Director, consolidating the strategic plan for national and international expansion of the foodtech accelerator. Eatable Adventures already has operations on four continents and physical offices in Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Verona, London, and San Francisco.
