About

I'm Ivan Sanz.

People who know me tend to experience me as honest, steady, and caring. I try to show up that way — for others, and for myself — especially when things are unclear or difficult.

Much of my life has been spent building complex systems: technical networks, global organizations, and communities shaped by distance, culture, and constraint. That work taught me something that applies far beyond infrastructure — that the best systems are built for real conditions, not ideal ones. They're conservative where it matters, adaptive where it counts, and designed to serve the people inside them.

People often come to me when they're carrying confusion, emotional weight, or hard decisions. I don't rush to fix things. I listen carefully and try to help make sense of what's happening without forcing easy answers.

Born in California. Based in Berlin.

What I'm building

Page Street Performance is where most of my energy goes right now. It's a human-led coaching system that integrates training, fueling, and mindset for athletes who are done guessing — people who want real oversight and a system that adapts to their actual life, not an idealized version of it.

I designed PSP the way I'd design any critical system: adaptive, flexible, resilient. The engineering shapes how it thinks. The coaching and exercise science shape what it delivers. Not a program you follow — a system that evolves with you.

Published work

I publish structured frameworks to help leaders think more clearly about complex systems. These are designed for independent reflection and discussion — not prescriptions, but tools for better thinking.

Current publication: A Practical Framework for Digital Resilience — dependency, continuity, and coordination risk in digital infrastructure, with a European governance lens.
