Entrepreneur, technology executive and strategic advisor.
Four decades building and leading technology companies across Ibero-America.
Former Owner, Chairman and CEO of Unitech. Former Chairman of CESSI. Founder of Kairosia and Strategic Advisor to Unitech.
Where the work happens today:
Through Kairosia, I work with CEOs, boards and institutions facing decisions where artificial intelligence, business, technology and investment converge.
Four decades in the technology industry.
I am the former Owner, Chairman and CEO of Unitech, former Chairman of CESSI, founder of Kairosia and Strategic Advisor to Unitech.
I began my professional path in 1986 with Hitware, my first technology venture. In 1992, I became a co-owner of Unitech. Over the following 34 years, alongside successive partners and an exceptional team, I helped build and lead the company through technological change, international expansion and the development of mission-critical platforms for government, justice, security and enterprise organizations.
Unitech operated across Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Spain. Its products reached more than 10 million people.
In 2021, I founded Unitech Iberoamericana in Barcelona. The company specialized in intelligence and security solutions, including information analysis, investigations, fraud prevention and the fight against organized crime. I led its development in Spain and Europe until April 2026.
From 2015 to 2019, I served as Chairman of CESSI, the Argentine Chamber of the Software Industry. The role involved building consensus among companies, universities, institutions and government, including work around the Knowledge Economy Law and the development of the sector’s strategic agenda.
In October 2025, I founded Kairosia. Through Kairosia, I work with CEOs, boards and institutions on decisions at the intersection of artificial intelligence, business, technology and investment.
Since April 2026, I have continued to support Unitech as a Strategic Advisor. I also invest selectively as an angel investor and support founders on strategy, growth and international expansion.

Areas of work and inquiry.
AI & enterprise reinvention
What it takes to become an AI-native company.
Which processes, structures and models stop making sense when certain capabilities become abundant.
Reinvention of business groups
Where value lies inside a company or a business group, what to prioritize, what to reinvent and what to stop.
The future of software
What happens to the software industry when producing code stops being the scarce part of the system, and how that changes the economics of companies built on it.
Software models
Products, revenue models and organizational structures in software companies as the cost of building software falls.
Human judgment
The distance between generating answers and making good decisions.
Where human value moves as machines produce better outputs.
Technology & institutions
Using technology to transform institutions without treating technology as the goal.
Chambers, associations & clusters
Transformation agendas that align companies, universities, institutions and government around a shared direction.
Education
What to learn, and how, when knowledge is instantly accessible and part of what we teach is obsolete before it is applied.
Artificial intelligence is changing how software is built, sold and organized.
An important part of my current work consists of researching how artificial intelligence is modifying software development.
Not only from the angle of individual productivity. I am especially interested in what happens one level up.
If code becomes cheap, the scarce resource moves somewhere else.

AdvisoryKairosia
Kairosia is the platform from which I work with entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs and organizations on strategic decisions involving artificial intelligence and transformation.
The work does not start with technology. It starts with the business.
The work begins with the decision:
Where value lies, what to prioritize, what to reinvent and what to stop.
I work especially around decisions like
- Business-group reinvention
- Product and revenue-model evolution
- Software industry transformation
- Transformation agendas for chambers, associations & clusters
- AI strategy
- Board-level AI decisions
- Build / Buy / Partner
- Investment decisions
Judgment shaped by operating, not observing.
Most of what I know about companies I did not learn by observing them from the outside.
I learned it by hiring people, losing clients, winning others, moving through crises, opening markets, making wrong decisions, surviving technological shifts and building an organization over three decades.
That is why I analyze a company less from a framework and more from a single standard:
The standard is practical judgment: evidence, constraints, consequences and long-term value.
Backing and advising founders.
After much of my career as a founder, I stay close to people building something that does not yet exist.
I invest selectively as an angel investor and support founders on strategy, growth and international expansion.
The value is rarely only the capital. It is the experienced conversation at the moments where it matters most.
Where I can help
I work on these with CEOs, boards, and founders through Kairosia
Throughout my career I actively participated in the Ibero-American technology ecosystem, both from within the company and from business organizations and institutions.
I'm an active member of Barcelona and Spain's startup ecosystem — SeedRocket, BIGBAN, IESE, Tech Barcelona, and Startup Interactive Accelerator — where I evaluate and mentor early-stage founders.

- AI Strategy & Economics
IA: el precio está claro. ¿Dónde está el valor?
Las empresas empiezan a descubrir una paradoja: cada unidad de inteligencia artificial cuesta menos, pero la factura total crece. El problema ya no es cuánto cuesta un token. Es saber qué resultado económico produce — y, cada vez más, cómo eso está cambiando la forma en que compramos software.
