About Cesar

I step into products with structural problems (no team, no process, or no product practice in place) and build what's needed to deliver.

Over 6+ years, I've worked across fintech, banking, healthcare, and retail in environments where the cost of getting it wrong is measured in millions.

Examples of impact:

→ Protected $1.8B in seasonal revenue at Walmart by launching a mission-critical system in 90 days with a development team built from scratch, reducing operational incidents 79% across 5 Central American markets.

→ Avoided a $500K regulatory fine at Scotiabank by establishing one of the bank's first agile teams, resolving 165 production defects and delivering mobile banking features 79% faster.

→ Cut delivery cycle time 63% at Alcon by redesigning global web delivery processes through Lean Six Sigma, earning two performance awards across a 54-website global rollout.

→ Contributed to resolving a $10M collection gap at Paysafe by diagnosing pricing engine misconfigurations and coordinating fixes across engineering and finance teams.

→ Increased platform adoption 22% at Blackbaud by turning Customer Success feedback into 16 prioritized features, cutting backlog refinement from 5 to 3 days.

I work with a Computer Science background and a consultative approach: I engage stakeholders to define the real problem before defining the solution, then work directly with engineering to execute. I've done this across regulated environments and distributed teams in LATAM, India, and North America.

If your product needs structure, your team needs direction, or your environment has more ambiguity than a playbook, that's where I do my best work.
