About Gerardo

With 20 years of experience spanning from hands-on technical roles to Principal Solutions Engineer, I am a Technology Advisor specializing in bridging the gap between C-suite objectives and product engineering. I ensure that your technology strategy directly drives revenue growth and operational efficiency.

As an independent consultant, I partner with scale-ups, enterprises, and investment funds to deliver value across three main pillars:

Strategic Tech Advisory & Solution Architecture
I design and audit End-to-End (E2E) architectures, particularly for complex and highly regulated environments. Whether you need a fractional advisor to evaluate IT vendors, architect system integrations, or conduct Tech Due Diligence, I provide the strategic blueprint before you build.

B2B Tech Sales Enablement (Presales)
Having driven millions in ARR and been recognized as a 3x Top Performer (Global MVP, EMEA SC of the Year), I know how to structure complex software sales. I help SaaS companies professionalize their presales processes, build winning Proof of Concepts (PoCs), and use sales methodologies in presales to close enterprise deals faster.

Supply Chain & Pharma Compliance
I bring deep, specialized expertise in architecting traceability solutions for global pharmaceutical leaders. I understand how to navigate strict regulatory landscapes and turn compliance constraints into technical advantages.

Core Expertise & Methodologies:
B2B SaaS | Digital Transformation (MIT Professional Education Certified) | Enterprise Architecture | Pre-sales & RFP Management | Channel Partner Enablement | Executive Stakeholder Management.

Let's connect to discuss how we can align your technical capabilities with your strategic business goals.
