RAFAEL MONTERO
Geologist, Natural Stone Consultant and Project Manager (PMP) with more than 20 years of experience in international markets. Founder of Albora International (UAE), in the last 10 years my professional career has been mainly developed in the Management of Natural Stone Projects in the Persian Gulf, executing comprehensive public and private projects with stone, such as Hospitals, Hotels, Office Centers, etc.
Since the beginning of my career, I have been acquiring experience in different areas, such as R&D, Quality Control, International Purchasing Management, Marketing and Commercial Management and finally as a PMP and a Consultant. I have developed these responsibilities in the Raw Materials field, the Ceramic Industry and the Natural Stone Sector.
My international career has been carried out mainly in the Asian markets such as China, India, Middle East as UAE, Oman, Turkey, Iran, and Western markets such as USA and Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Baltic Rep., etc.)
Given the lack of professionals with know-how of the entire value chain of the Stone Sector, Albora International has been oriented towards Natural Stone Consultancy and Project Management (PMP). These services are increasingly in demand and are aimed at providing global solutions to the doubts and problems faced by professionals: Constructors, Architects, Interior Designers (ID) and of course, Developers who require the support of experts in order to successfully carry out their projects with marble or other types of stone.

Albora International Commercial & Marketing Manager
OLGA SÁNCHEZ
As a Geologist, I started my professional career within the Geotechnical field, for a Quality Control Laboratory for Construction in Spain. However, after that rewarding period, where I learnt a lot about this Sector, I realized I had new professional issues, even beyond our borders.
After complementing my technical training with an MBA, IE Business School and a Master in Marketing and Commercial Management, ESIC Business School, I opened up a new professional stage at the Advanced Stone Technology Centre, in Spain.
During this stage, I had the privilege of working for a wide variety of companies in Spain and abroad (SME’s, Multinationals, Foundations, Associations, etc) from which I continued learning about the Stone Sector and its Auxiliary Industry, the R&D+i entities, the national and international market and of course its potential clients: Specifiers (Architects, Interior Designers, Decorators), Constructors, Developers, etc.
Willing to face new challenges in this field I became part of “Albora International”.
In Albora, we work to ensure the success of any project carried out with natural stone, reducing costs as much as possible and ensuring the quality and results expected by the client. We make this possible by optimizing each step, thanks to our professional Project Management, and an exhaustive knowledge of the sector within and outside our borders.
