ABOUT
Hybrid cloud and critical infrastructure transformation leader focused on resilient enterprise modernization.
Infrastructure executive with more than 25 years of experience leading large-scale cloud, data center, and industrial infrastructure modernization initiatives across enterprise and manufacturing environments in the Americas and Europe.
Specialized in hybrid cloud architecture, edge computing, operational resilience, disaster recovery, and low-latency industrial environments supporting highly critical 24x7 operations.
Led one of the first large-scale AWS Outposts industrial implementations within British American Tobacco, migrating an entire manufacturing data center in Mexico to a resilient hybrid cloud architecture while significantly improving operational resilience and infrastructure efficiency.
The architectural model developed under this initiative became a reference for additional industrial modernization programs, including replication initiatives within Reynolds American in the United States and technical advisory discussions coordinated by AWS with enterprise customers exploring similar hybrid cloud strategies.
Invited by AWS as a guest speaker at AWS re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas, presenting enterprise hybrid cloud transformation initiatives for industrial manufacturing environments using AWS Outposts and edge computing architectures.
BEYOND WORK
Outside of enterprise technology and cloud transformation initiatives, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, wine, DIY projects, and building smart home automation solutions combining AI, observability, and modern infrastructure technologies.
