Jimena joined Grupo AIA in July 1998 where she demonstrated her multidisciplinary knowledge, initiative, and management skills. She started in modeling, consulting and project management in the area of Banking and Finance, where she later held the position of Assistant Manager (1999) of the Banking and Finance Business Unit. She has also collaborated in the conceptualization of solutions to complex problems as well as in the development of a series of algorithms that are now incorporated in Internet products. Her capacities have made her a real asset for creating, leading and managing New Business Developments.

In 2000 she created in AIA, the Internet and Telecommunications Business Unit: a group that reached more than 20 people. She was the Director of this Unit until 2002, as well as a Board member of AIA. Jimena is currently Group AIA's Vice President of New Business Development. From 2002 to 2004, she was appointed at the Pompeu Fabra University with a research position "Ramon y Cajal", sharing her academic and research responsibilities at the Pompeu Fabra University with being an active member of the R&D and innovation committee of Group AIA.

In the Academic world Jimena has held other research positions such as: "Researcher" at the Scientific Research Venezuelan Institute (IVIC Caracas) as well as a tenure position as Professor at Simón Bolívar University in Caracas (where she performed different managing positions). Jimena had visiting Positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T. at Cambridge), the Mathematical Science Research Institute (M.S.R.I at Berkeley), and the Centre de Recerca Matemática (C.R.M at Barcelona), among others. She is author of research papers in Mathematical Logic, Set Theory and Artificial Intelligence.

Jimena obtained her Bachelor (1983) and Master's degree (1985) in Mathematics at the Universidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela) with Honors; and her Ph.D. in Sciences with mention in Mathematics at the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1989. She has 12 years of Music Studies including piano, harmony, counterpoint and composition at the Music School Juan José Landaeta, Caracas (Venezuela). She has also participated in short Management courses including "Creating value in a Company", IESE, Barcelona (Spain).

At Simón Bolívar University she was also the Founder and coordinator of the Vocal Group Garía. A Music group of 16 Professors dedicated to Popular Music, Jazz and Latin music.

The remarkable experience combination we find in Jimena of, management, scientific and musical knowledge, made her the natural choice for Leading Polyphonic HMI.

Vicenç Gaitán obtained his degree in Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona in 1989 with Honors, and his Ph.D. in Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona in 1993

He was research Fellow at the High Energy Physics Institute, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (1987-1989). When he finished his Bachelores Degree he taught at the la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and became a member of the High Energy Physics Laboratory. In 1990 he joined the collaboration project between the Laboratory and the CERN, ALEPH.

Vicenç has taught courses on mathematical methods for Physics, Quantitative Mechanics and Experimental techniques. His research activity centered on processes of parameter measuring and coupling constants in the ALEPH research work, as well as on the neural network study and its application to High Energy Physics and related fields. He collaborated in more than eighty research papers about the ALEPH experiment.

In 1993 he joined the Innovation Area of Aplicaciones en Informática Avanzada. He has given an important drive to the development of forecasting systems based on neural network techniques, which are the foundation of a series of products currently commercialized by AIA. He has developed a steady task of new computation and optimization algorithm developments for a broad product range within the electric sector and for resource allocation within the railroad sector. He has also developed, for the energy daily market, computational algorithms based on Game Theory and on classical optimization techniques. In the finance sector he has collaborated with the optimization projects for cash distribution management and investment fund portfolios. In the Internet and Telecommunication area he has developed new user profile classification techniques based on navigation patterns, new algorithms for optimized content delivery and WWW simulation models. Now, he is involved in defining the next generation of tools for the incoming unwired-broadband Internet. He actively collaborates in sales and management activities in the Innovation Business Unit, being currently its Director. He is also member of the Board of Directors of AIA

Yann spent almost all his professional career in the record music industry. In 2001 he moved to Barcelona and became the country manager for Spain of the French independent record label Naïve. Before that he spent some time at major record companies in Madrid. Virgin Records at the International department, Mercury/Polygram at the local repertoire department as senior label manager and Warner Music Spain, where he started his journey in the record industry at the promo department back in 1993.

He was one of the key players in the birth of the Spanish Independent Association called UFi, which represents the independent record companies in Spain.

His professional background also includes Tiscali IP launching the music portal Musix and PR & Communication department at SMH Group (watch makers like Swatch, Omega or Rado).

Before joining Music Intelligence he spent a year as a consultant for PlusMusic, a Barcelona based company specialized in clearance rights for commercials and films.

Yann has a degree in Communication at the Universidad Antonio de Nebrija in Madrid and he obtained an Erasmus grant for the Roskilde University in Copenhagen (Denmark).

Roger Cortal, a spanish national aged 32, degreed in Industrial engineering (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña), has always combined his 2 greater motivations: Music and Science.

In 2000 he worked for Philips Lightning, commited to the improvement of the production process, the implementation of functional methodologies and SapR3, and finally headed a Quality Improvement Project, CTR (Cycle Time Reduction). In 2000 he got in charge of the commercial management of Graphics Design, company specialized in the hotel trade, achieving a 30% increase of sales.

At the age of 13, he started to study music, drumming, guitar, voice (Taller de Musics, in Barcelona), and acting (Colegio del Teatro, in Barcelona). In 1987 he created his fist band, The Way. Later on he joined different bands and various CD’s. In 1993 he met Mr. Depaul (acclaimed director and teacher of acting, and at that time Director of Yale School of Drama). Between 1994-2000, Roger collaborated with Mr. Depaul in a number of different performances in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Barcelona and has also participated in four international and national productions. In December 2005 he joined Polyphonic HMI, to add value due to his relation and contacts within the Music Industry, his previous commercial experience and his continous interest for music.
