Bicultural Professional Silicon Valley · Spain

Silicon Valley roots. Spanish soul.

I'm John Bolorinos — career coach, business advisor, and the product of two cultures. I grew up between the US and Spain, then built my career inside Silicon Valley's tech ecosystem.

Being half Spanish isn't a fun fact — it's why I can open doors in Spain that most American consultants can't. I speak the language, know the culture, and have the relationships to back it up.

Two worlds. One coach.

Most coaches know one side. I know both.

01

I've worked in tech

Not just coached people in it. I know what hiring managers want because I've been in those rooms.

02

I'm actually half Spanish

I don't study Spain from afar. I grew up between two cultures, speak the language, and have real relationships there.

03

I translate both ways

Not just language — mindsets, expectations, negotiation styles. US and Spain think differently. I bridge that gap.

04

I care about results

Promotions, roles landed, markets entered. That's how I measure success — not hours on a call.

Simple process.

1

Discovery Call

Free. 30 minutes. We talk about where you are and where you want to go.

2

Your Roadmap

I put together a plan built around your specific goals.

3

We Work

Regular sessions with clear actions, honest feedback, and accountability.

4

You Get There

We track progress and keep adjusting until you hit your goal.

In their own words.

"Lors de mon MBA à Madrid, j'ai eu le plaisir d'étudier et de travailler en groupe avec John qui a toujours fait preuve d'un très grand professionnalisme et de leadership. En effet, John possède de solides compétences analytiques, de communication, et de résolutions de conflits, et a à chaque fois réussi dans tous nos projets à soutenir l'équipe avec succès pour arriver aux meilleurs résultats. Je recommande vivement John pour tout rôle dans lequel il mettra à profit ses compétences à part entière et qui sera un atout très précieux pour toute équipe ou entreprise."

"Джон — всесторонне развитый человек. С ним можно поддержать разговор на разные темы (от бизнеса до политики и различных мировых событий). Также, у него высокий эмоциональный интеллект и он умеет управлять в разговоре как собой, так и собеседником, даже если мнения в диалоге расходятся. Я рад своему знакомству с Джоном и надеюсь у нас ещё будет много возможностей пообщаться!"
