More than 25 years building technology businesses across Latin America.
Technology and cybersecurity executive with full accountability for country operations and regional units in software, IT services, cloud and security. Twenty-two years at IBM. Former Chair of the ACTI Cybersecurity Committee and a regular voice on the subject in the Chilean media.
What sets me apart is not one specialty but the combination of three. Most technology executives master one of these conversations. The value lies in holding all three in the same room.
Real technical depth, not slideware. I built IBM’s regional cybersecurity unit from scratch and took managed security services to de facto standard in Chile and several countries in the region. CISM and CCSK.
Running a full operation: processes, governance, local compliance, role architecture, integration of an acquired company and team development. Two decades inside a global matrix, leading functions that never reported to me.
Accountability for the metrics a services business actually lives by: forecast, cost, margin, billable hours, utilization and cost model. Operating budget and cost structure end to end.
My career moved with the markets, and that circulation is part of how I work: I have stepped into operations I did not know, in countries that were not my own, and rebuilt them from the inside.

Without digital trust, no development is possible.From my column in Tabulado, 2025
I have served the Chilean market since 2005 and have lived in Chile since 2009. Married, three children. Weekends are for the court and the mountain: tennis, running and snowboarding when the season allows.
Since 2018 I have taken a sustained part in Chile’s public debate on cybersecurity, as a columnist, interviewee and speaker: 36 appearances in eight years.
