# Lucia Martinez

Tech journalist based in Madrid, covering the European tech and startup scene for a prominent Spanish-language technology publication. Lucia appeared on the podcast to discuss how the European tech ecosystem is perceived from the media side, the challenges of covering a fragmented market across many languages and cultures, and the growing maturity of European tech compared to five years ago.

## Notes

- Brings a journalist's rigor to conversation; well-prepared and asks sharp follow-up questions even as a guest
- Her pan-European perspective helped frame the European tech scene in a way that resonated beyond any single country
- Candid about the challenges of tech journalism, including access issues and the pressure from PR-driven narratives
- Expressed interest in being quoted or featured in future Refactoring newsletter issues covering European tech trends
