Sergio Marsal is a Spanish entrepreneur and the president of Acornseekers, a pioneering company producing Iberian acorn-fed ham in the United States. His journey began in 2013, when he launched an ambitious project to raise Iberian pigs in Texas, enabling the production of this prized delicacy outside of Spain for the first time. With a professional background in marketing and communication at companies like Andrés Sardá, New Pol, and Lakot, Sergio combined his expertise and business vision to realize his dream. Today, Acornseekers is a benchmark in the internationalization of gourmet Spanish products, and his story is a lesson in perseverance and entrepreneurial creativity.

This achievement was the result of his drive to bring Iberian acorn-fed ham to the U.S. market and his ability to tackle seemingly impossible challenges, earning him international recognition as a visionary in the internationalization of premium products.
