Lead Solutions Architect @ Veeam ยท LATAM

Over 11 years at Veeam covering enterprise customers across LATAM and the USA. Technical escalation lead on complex deals, and regional technical reference for sales teams, partners and customers in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and other markets across the region.

Day to day I mix data protection architecture, discovery sessions with customers, POCs, and landing solutions in environments ranging from banks and mining companies to cloud providers.

Outside the formal role I like to build: security tools, AI governance frameworks, integrations, automation. Usually solving a problem of my own first and only then evaluating whether it makes sense to turn it into a product. Lately focused on the intersection of cybersecurity, AI and data protection, where I believe the strategy of the coming years will be.

24xsiempre.com is where I share what I learn with the community of Solution Architects and sysadmins in the region: technical deep-dives, real configurations and lab experiments.

Leadership and community

Beyond the individual contributor role, a big part of what I do is multiplying technical capacity across the team and the region.

  • Trusted Advisor for strategic enterprise customers and the sales teams covering them, from initial architecture to deal close.
  • Mentoring and enablement of junior SAs and partners across LATAM: technical sessions, shadowing on complex deals, and internal frameworks that lower the learning curve.
  • Technical evangelism at events, webinars and public content. I represent Veeam to the region’s technical community.
  • Cross-functional escalation with product management and engineering: bringing real feedback from our LATAM customers into product decisions, as well as proposing new features across all products.
  • Internal tooling used by other teams: governance frameworks, documentation generators and automation of repetitive presales tasks.
