Two Decades at the Intersection of
Technology and Business

I started my career as an engineer who genuinely enjoyed building things — from ERP rollouts at SAP Chile to re-engineering supply chains at Cencosud and SMU, where I led technology projects exceeding $10M. The systems we built weren't just IT — they reshaped how entire organizations made decisions.

At Accenture, I spent five years as a Director scaling digital transformation across the region, managing practices that generated $28M+ in annual revenue. That experience crystallized something for me: the gap between AI's potential and its actual adoption inside boardrooms was enormous — and growing.

So I stepped into the gap. Today I serve on boards, advise founders, and co-build ventures at the intersection of applied AI, corporate strategy, and organizational culture. My focus isn't on the technology itself — it's on making it work for the people who run companies. I bring an engineer's rigor, a director's perspective, and a founder's urgency to every engagement.

What I Bring to the Table

Digital Transformation

Board Governance & Strategy

Independent governance with technology acumen — bridging the gap between boards and the digital reality of their companies.

Startup Founding & Scaling

From zero to product-market fit. Experience founding, funding, and scaling technology ventures in Latin American markets.

Supply Chain & Operations

Redesigning supply chains with data-driven optimization — from procurement to last-mile, at companies like Cencosud and SMU.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Building executive dashboards and intelligence layers that turn raw data into boardroom-ready strategic insights.
