About Me

Strategic Leader in Technology & Delivery Excellence | Critical Infrastructure Transformation, IT Governance, and PMO More than a Project Manager, I am a strategic partner who combines business vision with high-precision technological execution. With over 25 years of international experience, I specialize in executing projects where error is not an option, transforming complex challenges—from transnational migrations to the construction of hospital data centers—into predictable, secure, and profitable operations. My career is defined by the intersection of technical precision (Systems/Infrastructure Engineering) and executive strategy (MBA/Operations Management). I design and scale high-performance structures that standardize processes, mitigate risks, and empower multicultural teams. 🚀 WHAT DO I BRING TO AN ORGANIZATION? 🔹 Surgical Precision Results: At Banctrust, I led the complete migration of the Data Center (Caracas to Montevideo) achieving 0% business interruption, with a time deviation of only 1% and a financial deviation of 8%, ensuring service reliability greater than 99.9%. 🔹 Regulatory Excellence & 360º Governance: I don't just meet standards; I set them. I led the design of the Propatria Foundation's Data Center, complying with 100% of international standards and achieving a Success Story certified by Cisco Systems. I implement robust frameworks (ITIL, COBIT, BCP/DRP) that shield operational continuity. 🔹 Innovation and Productivity (AI & Agile): I combine proven methodologies (PMP, ITIL, Agile, Kanban) with Generative AI tools to optimize workflows, achieving improvements of up to 40% in productivity and delivery predictability. 🔹 Servant Leadership: My teams and clients define me by my “obsession with quality.” I have founded corporate universities and mentored dozens of professionals to raise technical and human standards, achieving industry-leading satisfaction metrics (NPS/CSAT). 🔧 KEY SKILLS: Strategic PMO & Governance | Data Center Design & Build | Cloud Migration Strategy | High-Availability Platforms | AI for Productivity | Stakeholder Management | Service Delivery Excellence. I am passionate about creating resilient operations where technology acts as a true competitive accelerator.
