Joaquim San Nicolás

The Barcelona Euro HTC Conference is honored to welcome Joaquim San Nicolás, an accomplished healthcare executive whose three-decade career has spanned every facet of international health—from clinical operations and network management to digital innovation and strategic partnerships.

​

Born in Barcelona, Joaquim brings a uniquely European perspective to the challenges and opportunities of global healthcare collaboration. Over the past 30 years, he has served as CEO of a major medical center employing more than 60 physicians, led an international healthcare consultancy, and founded one of Spain’s early e-commerce platforms for healthcare services—demonstrating a lifelong commitment to advancing access, efficiency, and quality in care delivery.

​

For the past decade, Joaquim has been a key leader at AXA Partners, where he serves as Deputy Head of the International Medical Network for Europe and the Americas. In this role, he oversees a team of 12 local network managers across multiple countries and leads the organization’s cost control and medical audit operations—ensuring clinical quality and financial integrity across AXA’s vast global health network.

​

His career reflects the evolution of the healthcare ecosystem itself: from hands-on clinical management to digital transformation and now, to international systems leadership that bridges continents.

​

At the Barcelona Euro HTC Conference, Joaquim San Nicolás will share insights from his years building and leading cross-border medical networks, focusing on how collaboration, trust, and technology can strengthen global healthcare delivery.

​

“Healthcare today is a global conversation,” Joaquim says. “The key is connecting people, systems, and values—so that quality and care travel as seamlessly as patients do.”

​

When not advancing healthcare collaboration, Joaquim enjoys time with his two children and watching a good badminton match—reminders, he says, of balance and precision, both essential in life and leadership.
