About
I build and scale technology and services operations across international markets.
Over 20+ years, I have launched greenfield operations, scaled organizations from 0 to 1,200+ professionals, and managed a $100M+ multi-country P&L. My experience combines global delivery, operational transformation, organizational design, market expansion, and financial discipline.
I have led high-growth operations for technology and AI companies, improving margin, delivery predictability, cost efficiency, and customer outcomes. My track record includes:
ยท ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ & ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ. Built and governed delivery organizations across Europe and LATAM, consistently improving on-time delivery, release cadence, and engineering quality. Implemented OKR/KPI frameworks that gave leadership real-time visibility across complex, distributed portfolios.
ยท ๐&๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ. Managed $100M+ in multi-country P&L with ~40% gross margin. Delivered measurable cost reductions: 8% OPEX savings, 12% lower cost-per-hire, and 12% reduction in indirect costs, through disciplined vendor rationalization and operating model standardization.
ยท ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก. Launched greenfield operations in Europe (Spain) and LATAM from scratch to 1200+ FTE. Currently advising international tech companies on market-entry strategy, nearshore team design, and AI-enabled growth in Spain and LATAM.
ยท ๐&๐ & ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. Led operational due diligence and post-acquisition integration for a services firm in Colombia. Full integration in 120 days, $2.5M in annualized financial benefits.
ยท ๐๐ & ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ. Oversaw enterprise delivery for AI product development and customer implementations at C3 AI, supporting Fortune 500 clients in energy, industrial, and supply chain sectors. Integrated generative AI capabilities that cut implementation time by 30% and drove 60% feature adoption in 90 days.
I%27ve led delivery for Google (5 business units, 220 FTE), Airbnb, Disney, NBCU, and other global-scale clients, where execution risk is high and the margin for operational failure is zero.
I am most effective in roles where companies need to scale operations, improve execution, strengthen P&L performance, or expand into new markets.
Based in Madrid and authorized to work in the EU.
