About Jose Manuel

If your company is growing, undergoing digital transformation, or has just integrated another company and systems and processes are currently a bit chaotic, that's where I can help. I take on fractional or project-based technology leadership (CTO/CIO) without you having to hire someone full-time.
I specialize in bringing order to chaos: entering IT departments with deep technical debt, immature processes, or systems that have grown uncontrollably, and elevating them to a higher level of maturity – whatever the starting point. I'm not afraid of disorder; it's precisely where I contribute the most.
I have over 25 years of experience: I've managed entire technology areas, set up project management offices from scratch, and implemented ERP, CRM, vertical, or departmental solutions, both on-premise and SaaS. I've also led processes to bring order to the systems of several companies at once after a merger or acquisition, and their subsequent integration.
What I bring is an unusual mix: business vision (MBA) + solid technical judgment. Years of experience have given me the ability to step in, quickly understand the problem, and get to work without needing months of adaptation.
I can help you with: system plans and technology roadmaps, process diagnostics, end-to-end IT solution implementations, setting up your PMO, professionalizing your IT function (whatever its current level), or harmonization/integration plans if you have undergone or are undergoing an M&A operation.
