I am a technology and product executive who views technical delivery through a financial lens. With a background spanning Corporate Finance and Product Management (UF MBA) and Engineering (Purdue), I bridge the gap between complex technical execution and bottom-line business value. My focus is ensuring that every investment drives strategic transitions—from integrating large-scale acquisitions to scaling platforms for operational efficiency and profitable growth. Throughout my career, I have specialized in three key areas of impact: 🚀 The Scale-Up Architect At Fanatics, I led the technical PMO and systems integration during a hyper-growth phase that saw annual sales soar from $125M to over $1B. By replatforming 50+ commerce sites for the NFL, NBA, and NHL and implementing a $5M ERP, I ensured the infrastructure could support a 5x increase in peak transaction volumes. 🌍 The Global Integrator At Paysafe, I led strategic product management for a $200M enterprise merchant business. I directed a global roadmap across North America, LATAM, and EMEA, focusing on unifying disparate product lines to optimize global payment solutions and drive regional revenue growth. 🔄 The Transformation Expert Across roles at Vanco and Global Payments, I modernized high-scale Azure and mobile platforms serving 70K+ merchants and 40K+ organizations. By increasing delivery velocity and stabilizing technical debt, I have consistently driven sustainable scale and strategic growth. I am a fluent Spanish speaker with 12 years of experience living in South America, which allows me to lead cross-border initiatives with cultural and operational fluency. Currently, I am further expanding my expertise in AI Strategy and Product Innovation through the MIT Executive Program. Core Competencies: Fintech & Payment Processing | M&A Integration | Digital Commerce | Global Product Strategy | Scalable Cloud Architecture (Azure) | P&L Management | Digital Transformation | Cross-Functional Leadership (North America, LATAM, EMEA)
