CTO at goLance • Making software simple • Startup Mentor

80% of companies quit on AI before it helps.

Why? 
• One doubtful engineer
• Scary tool costs
• Or no clear plan

I make those problems disappear.

Who I Am
• 20+ years in code and leadership – from hands-on developer to CTO.
• Scaled SaaS platforms used by millions of customers.
• Trained global teams of 10 – 200 engineers to work faster and smarter.
• Guided “boring-industry” firms like healthcare and banks through tough tech shifts.

What I Bring
• Plain-language coaching – Your leaders and engineers get the “why” and the “how” without buzzwords.
• Tool fit & cost control – Pick the right AI tools, keep data safe, and stop surprise credit charges.
• Team habits that stick – I show devs how to fold AI into daily tasks—code reviews, tests, docs—until it feels natural.
• Measurable gains – Expect quicker releases, fewer bugs, and happier engineers in weeks, not years.
• Outcome pricing – You pay for real results, not for my hours on a clock.

The Bottom Line
If you lead a steady, no-flash company and keep hearing, “AI sounds cool, but…,” let’s talk. I turn that “but” into better software, lower costs, and a team that loves its work.

I am an Attorney but I worked in Outsourcing for most of my career.

I started leading teams in 2009, at Tata Consultancy Services, where I also learned about processes, documentation, quality, and most of what I know about outsourcing as an industry. I led a P2P team of 60 people for approx 4 years, including Procurement, Legal and Accounts Payable.

In 2013, I joined Altisource, a US Company with a Captive Center in Uruguay. I led teams of 100+ people, in Uruguay, but also in the US and India. We managed a 10,000+ vendor network in the US. I learned about P&L management, and how to drive aggressive cost reduction objectives while improving vendor performance across the board.

In 2020, I founded a startup and failed, joined a Software Company as an Ops VP and quickly transitioned into Sales. I led growth at different companies, until I started working in Xseed, where I led a focus shift towards the US Market and staff augmentation services. I became a partner, and later the CEO of the company, after growing from 5 devs to 50 in a period of 2 years.

I am a results oriented leader. An Ops guy who didn't really like sales, but ended up becoming a revenue growth leader by accident.

I care deeply about people. Their lives, their careers, their growth. My employees, my colleagues, my clients. These are all relationships, and every single one of them matters to me.

I try to keep things simple, real, and honest. I like to let results speak for themselves. When I promise something, my name is at stake. I will not rest until I deliver.

I am a proud husband and father of two.

I play drums and I like to think I am pretty decent at it. I sometimes play Football (the real one) and I am proudest when I kick the ball farther away from our goal. I do bodyboard, and enjoy being out there in the ocean. I like cooking and trying dishes from anywhere around the world. Food, friends, family, music, interesting conversations... it doesn't get any better than that.

I had an interesting conversation yesterday.

An upcoming podcast guest was drawing a parallel between delegating to AI, and delegating to junior employees.

There are different levels of efficiency and effectiveness.

In the same way leaders vary in their ability to efficiently delegate to humans, people vary in their ability to efficiently delegate to AI.

And it also begs the question: are there any advantages to dealing with AI, if you already know how to effectively delegate to human beings?

What are your thoughts?

More to come in an upcoming exciting podcast episode.

I had a blast joining my friend John Karsant on his podcast! we talked about leadership, outsourcing, and many other fun topics. Give it a listen!

Managing a big team is very difficult.

You have a wide range of personalities and emotions and situations you need to deal with on a regular basis. 

Mateo Bervejillo realized team leads are everything. When you give them ownership, clear communication, and real support, they step up and own the department. 

Thanks for coming on the podcast. Link to the full episode in the comments.
