Xavier Macià

Tech Leader
I am a visionary technology leader and entrepreneur with a proven track record of driving innovation across multiple sectors.
At Quant Dev, I spearheaded the development of an AI-powered trademark registration solution in China and built Sechrono's Just-in-Time food delivery platform. As the co-founder of QuReady, I lead efforts to secure business data against emerging quantum threats.
My passion for technology extends to empowering creators through NFTool, a no-code platform that streamlines the launch and management of NFT collections, and to advancing digital art authenticity by integrating blockchain-based certificates for Artshield, a vibrant art platform connecting artists with enthusiasts.
With extensive experience leading multi-functional teams, managing P&L, and launching products in international markets, I blend hands-on technical expertise with strategic vision to ensure every project not only meets but exceeds business objectives.
