Read BIO
As Next Limit´s chief executive officer, Victor is responsible for the company’s day-to-day-operations, as well as leading the company’s product development and technology strategy.
He became fascinated by computers from a very early age. He studied Naval Engineering at the Universidad Politécnica in Madrid, which allowed him to combine his passion for physics and mathematics with the virtual world.
In 1996, he started working at the company REM Inforgráfica where he met his current business partner and friend Ignacio Vargas, an aeronautical engineer with a similar career path. In 1998 they created Next Limit Technologies. Their first project was RealFlow, a simulation product for fluids in the cinematographic market that is today sold throughout the world.
In 2008, he was one of the co-awardees of the “Technical Achievement Award” (a “Technical Oscar”) from the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the creation of RealFlow. He is the proud recipient of many other awards, including the Double IST Award (Information Society of Technology-Europe) and the “Segundo de Chomón”, the technical award from the Spanish Film Academy.
