David Marín | Twenty Years of Experience at the Crossroads of Media, Information, and Innovation
Born and raised in Ticino, Italian-speaking Switzerland, to Andalusian parents. I have lived in Lausanne since 1994, where I earned a master’s degree in social sciences. Fluent in French, Spanish, and Italian; professional English; upper-intermediate German.

Intelligence as a Compass
The common thread in my career is the pursuit of intelligence in all its forms: individual and collective, rational and creative, emotional and relational. These are tools to make sense of reality, connect ideas, cross perspectives, and anchor them in the human dimension. This vision includes AI, which I interpret not only in the Italian sense of “intelligenza artificiale” but also as intelligence—in the Anglo-Saxon sense—meaning knowledge in action.
Interests
I am passionate about investigative journalism, high-quality reporting, and documentaries. I have a keen interest in geopolitical issues, as well as local organization and action. For years, I have pursued personal projects in writing and multimedia experimentation.
I love photography, video, and music, which I practice both professionally and as a hobby, recognizing the value of professional photographers, videographers, and musicians. New technologies fascinate me, but I use them to serve my work and passions—not the other way around.
Values
Quality and access to information are fundamental values to me. I believe in logical argumentation and the transmission of knowledge so that everyone can form free and informed opinions.
My approach is guided by intellectual honesty and the ability to revise my positions in light of reliable or verified facts. This is a cross-cutting dimension that goes beyond media and communication, concerning society as a whole—and particularly my way of contributing to it.
