SECRETARY GENERAL
Nikhil R. is the Secretary General of BCNMUN 2026. He was born in Madrid to Indian-American and Spanish parents, but was raised abroad in countries such as Kenya and Egypt before returning to Spain in his teenage years. He has attended the American School of Barcelona for four years and is currently in twelfth grade. Nikhil was introduced to the world of international relations way before his involvement in Model United Nations. Being the son of two journalists brought about multiple dinner-table discussions about these topics, which ignited Nikhil’s passion for foreign affairs. He would later join Model United Nations during eighth grade, after discovering his affinity towards public speaking, and would immediately be convinced by it. Throughout high school, Nikhil participated in multiple local and international conferences as both a delegate and a chair, including THIMUN, BIMUN, IMUN, and, of course, BCNMUN. All of these conference experiences have helped shape his academic life in one way or another, fleshing out his public speaking and research skills as well as allowing his intense passion for international relations to flourish. As Secretary General, he looks forward to being able to shape these experiences for all those participating in the upcoming conference.
DEBATE COORDINATOR
Willem V. M. is the Debate Coordinator for BCNMUN 2026. He comes from a Dutch family but was born and raised in Barcelona. This is his fifth year at the American School of Barcelona, where he is currently in 11th grade. Willem’s passion for geopolitics, debating, and public speaking led him to join Model United Nations (MUN) in 8th grade. Willem has chaired the General Assembly at BCNMUN 2025 and will be chairing the Historical Security Council at BIMUN ESADE 2026. He has taken every opportunity to be involved in MUN, gaining valuable skills such as effective public speaking, leadership, global awareness, research, and policy analysis. Additionally, MUN has deepened his appreciation for diverse perspectives through engagement with different countries’ values. Willem hopes to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all delegates at BCNMUN. He believes that MUN provides a space for students to understand prominent global issues while developing essential skills, and he is therefore very excited and honored to be part of the BCNMUN Executive Team. He wishes all BCNMUN participants a memorable and successful conference.
USG OF MEDIA
Paula O. T. is the Under Secretary General of Media for BCNMUN2026. She was born and raised in Barcelona, by her parents who are Belgian and Spanish. This will be her 9th year studying at the American School of Barcelona, where she is currently in 12th grade. She has participated in multiple Model United Nations events throughout the past 3 years, including BCNMUN 2 other times. When joining MUN she was instantly encouraged to strive for leadership as well as creativity, she is honored to present to all the participants the hard work behind the scenes of this conference. She aims to create a space where every voice is heard, fostering a conference pieced together by all its participants. By combining her innovative instincts with her enthusiasm for MUN, Paula has the skills to manage a media team and to make BCNMUN2026 as successful as possible.
USG OF FINANCE
Noah W. is this year’s USG of Finance for BCNMUN. He was born and raised in the United States, where he lived for 13 years before moving to Barcelona. This will be his third year working behind the scenes at BCNMUN. Throughout his two years of involvement, he has carefully observed what it takes to host a successful conference and how to optimize the experience for both delegates and directors. Shortly after moving to Barcelona, he successfully started his first business, through which he developed reliable financial management skills as well as strong communication skills. As USG of Finance, he looks forward to using his experience in both business and MUN to help host a seamless conference where attendees leave having truly enjoyed their experience.
