What I'm looking for

I seek senior technology leadership roles (CTO/Fractional CTO/Advisor) at growth-focused companies where I can drive digital transformation, scale engineering teams, and lead product and M&A strategies in collaborative, outcome-driven cultures.

I am a computer engineer with 23+ years of experience, focused on leading innovation and technology for world-class companies across Latin America and beyond.

I have served as CTO and technology leader at organizations including Siigo and Teamcore, led budgets from $500,000 to $5 million USD, and managed teams from 5 to 860 across LATAM, the USA, India, and Ukraine.

I have supported inorganic growth through involvement in the acquisition of over 10 companies, designed scalable, high-availability architectures, and implemented AI and digital-transformation strategies that deliver operational efficiency and value creation.

I participate in executive education programs (Cambridge, Stanford, MIT), hold an MBA in Digital Transformation, and serve as an Endeavor mentor, dedicating time to guide entrepreneurs and share practical experience.
