Meet Our Team

Born in Germany and living in Spain for more than 10 years, Janek is a serial entrepreneur with a track record of setting up various international businesses and enabling them to grow.
He founded WeWhale based on his deep admiration for whales and dolphins and his belief that whale watching and observation are key in helping people understand more about these magnificent animals.

I’ve been fascinated by whales since childhood and even my first drawing as a child was an Orca.
Creating the first completely emission free and silent whale observation fleet bringing whales and dolphins closer to humans, making people aware of their existence, and protecting them with our separate protection projects, together with the like-minded WeWhale team, is an extreme honour for me.

Mercedes, born in Tenerife is a Marine Biologist (MSc Marine Mammal Science), with over 20 years of experience on cetacean research and conservation. Her main interests are dolphin behaviour, bioacoustics, cymatics and interspecies communication. Since she was a little girl, she wanted to understand dolphins, their language and their connection to humans.

Reinventing an industry which hasn’t experienced any innovation in the last 70 years is truly a challenge but at the same time a huge motivation. In the end it’s all for “them”, our family and friends in the ocean! Offering the most animal and environmentally friendly whale and dolphin watching excursions combined with knowledge-based experiences for our guests on board is simply unique.

Lisa lives in Dublin, Ireland, and is the Communications Manager for WeWhale. She began her career as a journalist and editor, and subsequently has moved into various roles in communications, marketing and project management. She has worked on communication and education projects with different marine sector organisations in Ireland. She loves to incorporate whale watching opportunities into holidays, at home or abroad!

Working together and sharing a vision to bring more awareness and protection to our ocean’s whales and dolphins. Leading the way forward in responsible, eco-friendly whale watching and building a community of like-minded people with deep appreciation for whales.

Mónica dedicates herself to impactful projects, aspiring to be a positive force for change. Passionate about disruptive initiatives, she contributes to social impact, ocean conservation, and protection projects.
With diverse roles in communication, marketing, business development, and creating strategic alliances, she specialises in optimising supply chain strategies. Mónica, a storyteller, values transparent messaging. Beyond work, she finds joy in tacos, outdoor activities, dancing, art, and nature.

WeWhale offers a unique opportunity to experience awe and the transformative power of small actions, guiding our care, protection, and revolutionary efforts for cetaceans. Joining the WeWhale team entails fervently contributing to the fight against the climate crisis, actively participating in a project that promotes sustainable practices. Immersing oneself in this commitment, one cannot help but feel small in the face of the enormous power of a whale and grasp the immensity of the living ocean we seek to preserve.

Born in Argentina, Tadeo has been living in Spain for seven years. He has travelled a lot throughout his life for work and pleasure. He loves spending time in nature, and enjoys sailing, diving and skiing.

WeWhale for me has the perfect balance between being a family and tourism and a totally environmentally friendly and sustainable agency. When I was given the opportunity to do my bit for this cause, I did not hesitate for a second. I think that balance today is not easy to find.

Gonzalo was born in Madrid. He has always been passionate about animal welfare, the ocean and marine biology. Following his passion for diving and underwater photography, he has worked and travelled around the world.
Through collaborations with NGOs, Gonzalo has contributed to protecting marine life and gained experience in conservation initiatives: turtle nesting, coral reef restoration and dolphin rehabilitation.

WeWhale embodies a responsible company offering a mindful whale watching experience. Thanks to our electric and silent fleet, we are more respectful with the animals during our encounters. WeWhale’s non-profit association also takes part in wildlife and ocean conservation projects which is very meaningful to me.
With WeWhale, I can combine my love for sailing the ocean with my desire to spread awareness about conservation for cetaceans.
