Building on a JD in Law and executive education on strategic communications, Miguel has spent more than a decade working with the UN and non-UN humanitarian and development partners on policy advice, needs assessments, joint planning and capacity building in the areas of conflict prevention, aid effectiveness and financing for development.

His experience ranges from crisis to middle-income countries working with a range of local partners, including non-state actors, local councils, MPs, high-ranking government officials, CSOs and private sector. He has supported UN agencies and the OECD in designing partnership building and community awareness strategies in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Nicaragua and Somalia among other countries. He is currently advising the UNWomen regional office for Asia and Pacific on their partnership building efforts while still supporting other United Nations field missions on strategic communications and capacity building initiatives.

He also works with the IE Business School as Associate Professor at the School of Human Science and Technology and the School of Global and Public Affairs, teaching several courses on Representation, Persuasion and Professional Ethics. His lectures and policy-oriented research are focused on the ethical dimensions of visual narratives and the possible relationship between structural violence and violent radicalisation.
