About Ani Lopez
SEO consultant Vancouver based, moved from Barcelona some months ago where he developed his more than ten years long career as LAMP developer, web project manager and, during the latest three and a half years, as SEO.

Working for well known agencies in Europe gave him the opportunity to lead SEO campaigns and workshops for brands like Nokia, Carrefour, Amadeus Global Travel Distribution Systems, Barcelona Football Club, Hospes Luxury Hotels, Clickseguros Insurances, Lucas Fox Luxury Real State, Infojobs.net, Solostocks.com or Transfer Latin Business Consultancy just to mention some.

Most of these projects required target several countries in very different languages and cultures at the same time so it is a subject he knows well.
