It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Roland, who passed away peacefully in his sleep on the March 19th.
After suffering a series of strokes in 2009, he showed remarkable strength and resilience, continuing to approach everything with warmth, kindness, and dedication. His positive spirit left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of working with him.
Since 2014, when he co-founded METbarcelona with his wife, Maria McCrea, Roland brought strong business experience from over 30 years of running his own company in the UK, becoming key role in bringing METbarcelona to life.
Roland was a regular attendee at ICEF Berlin, where he built strong relationships, connected with many of you, and formed both meaningful connections and lasting friendships across the industry.
We at METbarcelona, will continue Roland’s legacy with the same passion and dedication he showed throughout his life.
