“I just love the feeling of connecting the dots,” says Ines. “I love it when we can leverage all the SmithGroup expertise to solve a client’s problem they have been struggling with.” Trained as an architect, Ines discovered that her talents really clicked with business development. “I realized I can be of more value through client relationships and strategic decision making,” she explains. “Working with our high aspirational clients, it’s not a business transaction. It’s about improving people’s lives while pushing forward values that promote inclusivity, excellence and innovation.” Her favorite architecture reflects her Spanish roots. Ines admires Casa Amatller in Barcelona, “a lesser-known example of our Catalan Modernism. I really like the novel way the design brings together texture, aesthetic restraint and traditional values.” Ines says she also likes movement; the former yoga teacher is an avid racquet player.
