Itxaso del Palacio – LEP Partners – VC
We all get her name wrong, takes years and years to even have a clue. Just make up any name you can think of an mumble when you meet her…we all do:)
If you just type her first name into Google image search you get a pile of images of her…that is how ODD the name is.
So what does the name mean? Basque name – that odd place not warm enough to be Spain and not got enough good wine to be France. Back to the meaning – She enjoys fantasizing, dreams of escape and loves to travel, something of a bohemian at heart
She did a Phd and had some connection to Newcastle so it must be a good Phd. Obviously with that connection Spanish (??) and Newcastle she has become a football mad and here is a picture of her old boyfriend’s stomach
