Creativity isn't mere combination—it's the visionary insight to connect precisely the right elements, igniting transformative breakthroughs that define generations.
Think big, Act small, Stay humble
My guiding philosophy: Think big to envision, act small for disciplined execution, and stay
humble to genuinely serve the world.
Currently, as an Enterprise Architect at Google Cloud, I drive digital transformation for
strategic companies across
Latin America. I design and implement innovative, AI-powered solutions that translate directly
into tangible business
outcomes, leveraging my deep expertise across Finance, Healthcare, & Retail industries.
Before joining Google, I built a strong foundation in the financial sector through over 15
years of experience. I
consistently led complex digital transformation initiatives within innovation and technology
departments at major
Colombian financial institutions, equipping me with robust understanding of enterprise-level
modernization challenges.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (2010) and an MSc in Computer Science (2015),
specializing in Artificial
Intelligence. My academic contributions, particularly my research on Multi-agent Systems,
provide me with a unique
perspective on applying AI to generate transformative value within organizations. Beyond my
technical work, I'm a
sought-after speaker, delivering talks on innovation and mindset shifts inspired by Google's
culture to regional
clients, including presentations at Google Headquarters.
Beyond my passion for Artificial Intelligence, I'm genuinely enthusiastic about fostering
innovation culture. I believe
in sharing insights from Google's ecosystem to inspire clients to embrace new thinking
approaches. This commitment to
cultivating a forward-thinking mindset often sparks engaging conversations and strong
connections as I help
organizations envision and achieve their transformative potential.
