5 features of the homuork Team
The Team.
Alexandra Maratchi
CEO
Alexandra Maratchi.
Alexandra Maratchi (Co-founder & CEO) was born and raised in Barcelona, but as soon as she could she started traveling and working all around Europe in marketing and sales in many major multinational companies. She’s a proud alumni of the Barcelonian Business School ESADE and holds a CEMS Master from HEC Paris. When she’s not thinking about how to further develop Homuork (which hardly happens), you’ll find her jogging or attending concerts, especially if Jamie Cullum is playing. She’s crazy good at imitating voices and accents.
Xavier Orri Badia
Co-founder & COO
Xavier Orri Badia.
Xavier Orri (Co-founder & COO) also grew up in Barcelona, a city he loves quitting from time to time only so that he can come back and enjoy it again. He holds a degree in Politics, one of his major vices; and a degree in Journalism that led him to Paris as a news correspondent for many years. He’s the creative mind of the team, a design obsessive who enjoys using words, forms and colors to affect and improve user’s experience in any field. If he’s not in front of his Mac, you’ll find him cooking with friends or reading some boring article.
Gerard Artés
Co-fundador & CTO
Gerard Artés.
Gerard Artés (Co-founder & CTO) is the senior of the team, a serial entrepreneur who runs the technological destinies of Homuork. He can create anything we dream of. He began his programming career 10 years ago, founding his own software company – still running and backing up most of Homuork’s major challenges. Besides being extremely reactive and talented – and patient as can be – he allows Homuork to address its customers’ technological needs, at any time. When he’s not busy, he’ll be home playing with his daughter while the phone rings.
Carla Temprano
Video artist & Producer
Carla Temprano.
Carla Temprano (Video artist & Producer) is the barcelonian member of the Media Team. She can edit videos or bake cakes with equally outstanding talent. Almost every single picture of sweets you may find in our social media is of her making. She graduated in Audiovisual Communication (UPC) and she is the geek of our gang. At meetings, her ideas usually require a second explanation for nobody really understands what she refers to… but hey, give her a new app and a couple of undisturbed hours and she’ll work out some magic.
Ángela Espejo
Viral videos hunter & photoshop magician
Ángela Espejo.
Ángela Espejo (Producer) is from Almería. She came to Homuork to be in charge of video editing but on her first day she made the mistake of showing off her writing talents. In her downtime, you’ll find her listening to music, watching a TV series or getting her creative kicks from photography and illustration. At the weekends she works in the wedding department of the BBC (weddings, baptisms and communions) and in 10 years’ time she sees herself filming her own music videos.
Maria Bea
Video artist & Producer

Maria Bea (Video artist & Producer) has earned the title of “Homuork’s official strory-teller”. Her tales about rescues of pigeons with suicidal tendencies and other situations of extreme survival in remote corners of the world have strongly engaged her audience. She started studying photography, but she realized soon enough that picture in motion was her thing. She co-directed her fist documentary and hopes it won’t be the last. At Homuork, she is in charge of editing the videos.

When she needs to disconnect, she finds refuge in her well-cared-for garden.
