Summary

I’m Renatto Garro, a Business & Technology Executive passionate about Digital Transformation and Emerging Technologies. I leverage my extensive experience and knowledge to drive the business development, sales, project management, and product marketing realms. My proficiency in communication, negotiation, and leadership has allowed me to establish and foster solid relationships with customers, partners, and teams.

My wide-ranging skills encompass Digital Transformation and Business & Technology Strategy, and expertise in an array of technologies like Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Networking, Clients and Servers, Storage, and Virtualization. For instance, I’ve implemented Blockchain in marketplaces and supply chain use cases, streamlining operations and adding a level of transparency that wasn’t possible before. My experience in Cloud Computing has allowed me to lead the migration of on-premise infrastructure to cloud environments, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution for organizations. In the realm of networking, I’ve overseen the setup of secure and efficient networks for businesses, ensuring seamless communication and data transfer.

One significant achievement in my career was facilitating Microsoft’s launch of OpenAI. I spearheaded strategic conversations on the use of Generative AI with customers from diverse industries, such as banking, retail, government, and more. For banking institutions, we explored use cases around automating customer service and detecting fraudulent activities. In retail, we discussed how AI could personalize customer experiences and optimize inventory management. For government agencies, we proposed ways AI could improve public service delivery and aid in decision-making processes.

Currently, I am leading a talented group at Google as a Customer Engineering Manager for Emerging Markets. Prior to Google, I held the position of Azure Migrate & Modernize Lead for LATAM at Microsoft, exceeding a $450M yearly cloud consumption target by 12% YoY. In this role, I strategized and executed Azure Native & Open-Source Software marketing and investments across 33 countries. I also held a position as a Senior Azure Specialist at Microsoft where I led sales engagements, tailoring solutions to customer needs in diverse industries. For instance, I helped healthcare companies leverage Azure to increase the security and compliance of their data, and assisted manufacturing firms in utilizing IoT for real-time analytics and process automation. Before that, I was an Azure Technology Solutions Professional where I focused on educating customers on cloud and hybrid concepts, infrastructure best practices, architecture designs, and migration strategies. This included explaining to financial services firms how Azure could help them manage their identity, authentication, security, privacy, and compliance needs.
