Ricardo Andrés Maya Coral
@ricardoandrsmayacora
Experienced engineering leader driving cloud, AI and telecom digital transformations.
What I'm looking for
I am a team-focused engineering leader with 20+ years building and leading international teams to design and deliver profitable technology and telecommunications products. I combine technical program management with a business mindset, reinforced by an MBA from Imperial College London.
At AWS I lead end-to-end delivery of cloud, AI and cybersecurity consulting engagements across Latin America, working with customer executives to define and execute complex initiatives that deliver measurable value. Previously I led Typeform integrations with 200+ partners, built Twilio's global cloud network engineering capabilities, and drove digital transformation programs for Millicom and Virgin.
My background spans network engineering, operations, and product integration—planning and deploying large-scale broadband and IP networks, negotiating SLAs, building teams from scratch, and implementing scalable cloud-native solutions. I bring strategic thinking, hands-on technical experience, and a track record of collaborating with C-level stakeholders to achieve business outcomes.
