About
I’m the author of a bestselling book: «Think Clearly: Eight Simple Rules to Succeed in the Data Age». Just published in English after five editions in Spain. Later available in Japanese, German, Turkish, Korean, and Chinese. I am a data journalist, leading a team at EL PAÍS, the largest newspaper in Spanish. My work combines data and storytelling to explain topics that matter—from elections to societal trends—, helping millions of readers make sense of the world. Highlights: ✔︎ Think Clearly is going international in 2025 ✔︎ Newsletter at EL PAÍS reaching 40,000 paying subscribers ✔︎ 100,000+ followers on LinkedIn and X/Twitter ✔︎ Honored with the Vicente Verdú Journalism Award ✔︎ Built models to predict elections in Spain, Mexico, or France ✔︎ Cited by The Washington Post, The Guardian, or The Financial Times If you’re working on projects involving data, AI, predictions, communicating complex ideas or clear thinking, I’d be happy to connect. https://kiko.llaneras.es/en/
