Welcome!
I'm Sergio Rio.
I help companies deliver business
outcomes with technology.
Please let me show you how.
It's not just about the technology - it's what you do with it that matters.
A unique profile
with a broad background
and hands-on experience
Realistic strategy, plans, stakeholder support, and practical project execution.
During my university years, my passion for Machine Learning was ignited. However, I redirected my focus towards corporate technology transformations for the next two decades. This journey led me to spearhead numerous international Information Technology initiatives involving diverse stakeholders. Eventually, I circled back to my initial passion for applying Machine Learning. This diverse experience equipped me with hands-on expertise. It provided me with dirty fingernails from working in the trenches, emphasizing the vital elements of realistic strategy, meticulous planning, stakeholder management, and effective project execution.
Broad industry experience and expertise: high-tech, consumer goods, manufacturing, distribution, and food retail.
Practical expertise in Enterprise Applications (Oracle and SAP), Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, and Lean Manufacturing.
Demonstrated ability to recruit, hire, train, and motivate high-performing teams that value transparency and accountability.

Leading multicultural high-performance teams: try seeing, feeling, and tasting the water you swim in!
Leading multicultural and geographically dispersed teams, I learned it’s not about being right or wrong, good or bad. It’s about understanding how culture and language shape how people from different cultures think, act, react, and do business.
