Critical Systems Architect | Founder of The Pink Force | STEAM Innovator for Social Impact

​

​

With over 30 years of experience in high-level consulting and systems architecture for critical infrastructure, Andoni Serrano Corral has played a key role in designing technology solutions for multinational energy companies, transportation consortia, and government highway networks.

​

Alongside his corporate work, Andoni is the President of The Pink Force Foundation, an international nonprofit dedicated to supporting children with cancer through the use of the iconic robot R2-KT—originally created in 2005 to care for Katie Johnson, daughter of Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion and close friend of George Lucas.

​

As the builder of the second fully functional R2-KT unit, Andoni co-leads the global #ThePinkForce movement, now present in 15 countries with 31 active droids providing emotional support to hospitalized children. He has also organized some of the world’s most impactful outdoor Star Wars charity events, including the Pink Force Day in Milan (2023) and The Force Against Cancer (2024) in partnership with one of the top cancer associations worldwide.

​

In 2025, marking the 20th anniversary of R2-KT and Katie’s legacy, Andoni launched the Pink Force Factory, a pioneering STEAM initiative where schoolchildren build real robots to be gifted to classmates undergoing cancer treatment. More than a tech project, it’s an educational movement that promotes empathy, innovation, and purpose—one that has already drawn interest from institutions like NASA.
