Samuel Ordieres

CEO at ZAPIENS

BIO

Since I was young, I lived a lot of changes in my live: homes, schools, sports... Most people doesn´t like this kind of live, but I love it! It makes me learn from a lot of different people and cultures. When I was 22 I discovered Additive Manufacturing (3d printing) at the University. The discovery open a new world in front of my eyes. I have always been a "life-entrepreneur" but, additive manufacturing made me a "business-entrepreneur". At the age of 24 I founded my first company about additive manufacturing with three more partners. At the age of 26 it was closed. This experience, far from make me fall, made me stronger. I continued my education in the areas of web programming and after two years of study and storing ideas, I started working at Freehouse as entrepreneur and some months later I was one of the six founders of Freehouse as a entrepreneurs house company. In other hand, I started leading Zapiens (one of the Freehouse projects) as CEO. After some months of hard work, Zapiens becomes the most successful startup of the Freehouse, with a 3 years in a row growing of 300% in revenues and growing the team from 3 to more than 30 people. After 4 years of 24/7 very intense hardwork, It was time to leave the company as worker and have a more balanced live, at the time I´m turning my professional path from a very hard oriented business career to a more technical focused career.
