Xavier Cadens

CHIEF RESEARCH & INNOVATION OFFICER - CRIO – Research & Development

I'm an Industrial Engineer specialized in Mechanical Machines from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. I've enhanced my education with courses in CAE FEM HYPERWORS/LS-Dyna (ALTAIR) and industrial design with Pro/E and CATIA (CIM Foundation).

I have previous experience as a Technical Manager at MAT (2000-2005) and as a Test and Homologation Engineer at IDIADA (1997-2000). I've represented the Spanish government in the working group GRSP/WP29/UNECE/UN for the development of regulation ECE 22 and have been a speaker at the APPLUS+ Chair in Automotive Safety.

I'm highly technically proficient, experienced in technological research, and skilled in Intellectual Property management. I’ve dedicated myself to developing innovative protective products and shaping regulations that have a global impact. I’m excited to bring this experience to my role as CRIO, where I’m focused on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and creating a safer, more innovative future!
