I've spent my career helping technology companies grow—building businesses, leading teams, developing partnerships, and bringing innovative solutions to market.

More

Over the past 18+ years, I've worked across enterprise sales, strategic alliances, consulting, and go-to-market leadership. That experience has allowed me to operate at the intersection of cloud platforms, enterprise software, AI, data, and partner ecosystems while helping organizations translate technology into measurable business outcomes. Earlier in my career, I lived and worked throughout Latin America, experiences that fundamentally shaped my leadership philosophy. They reinforced the importance of adaptability, trust, and building lasting relationships across cultures, organizations, and markets. Today at OpenText, I lead strategic partnership initiatives across public cloud service providers, global systems integrators, managed service providers, and the broader technology ecosystem. My work focuses on technical co-innovation, cloud transformation, marketplace growth, and scalable go-to-market execution. Throughout my career, I've found that meaningful growth happens when strategy, technology, and people are aligned. Whether leading sales organizations, developing partnerships, or building new go-to-market motions, my focus has always been on creating long-term value for customers, partners, and the business.
