I lead technology organizations where technology is a strategic lever of the business, not a back-office. My starting point is always the business problem: P&L, customer experience, operational efficiency, competitive advantage. The stack is the means, not the point.
That said, I'm not a gestor-only CIO. My background is Computer Science at UPM and I've never let the technical depth rust. When a critical issue hits production at 2am, I know what the telemetry is telling us. When a vendor oversells, I can tell. When the team debates Kubernetes, databases or a genAI architecture, I'm in the room as a peer.
That dual fluency (boardroom and stack) is what my track record is built on: three industries (mobility, media, retail), scale from 300 to 4,000+ payroll employees, teams with the lowest turnover and highest eNPS in their companies, and transformation projects that actually shipped and moved numbers.
