Lluìs Garceso

eCommerce Service Manager, H10 Hotels

Talk: Secure by design: Making security invisible and resilience inevitable

My passion for computers and computing, sparked by the circuits of my Amstrad 8 Bit, became my way of life. To this day, I still treasure that first computer alongside a collection of tech relics from the 80s and 90s. I've dedicated the last 25 years to online production, exploring a wide range of sectors: from the dynamic world of advertising, through insurance and banking, and even training military teams in Strasbourg to build resilient, distributed digital environments. For the past 10 years, I've been at H10 Hotels, diving into the most technical side of eCommerce, where I've directly developed the platform and managed both work teams and providers. I love pushing possibilities to their limits, and I'm currently the eCommerce Service Manager at H10. Our biggest pride, besides our hotels, of course? :) Successfully ensuring the eCommerce platform remains stable and resilient during critical sales periods like Black Friday. Off-screen, I love enjoying good food and traveling. And yes, I'm proud to say I've kept my teenage hobbies intact.
