Cristian Cotes Gonzalez

As a engineering area lead, with more than 15 years of experience. I lead a multidisciplinary team that designs, develops, and maintains custom tech products, from MVPs to full-scale platforms. We’re especially experienced in e-commerce, SaaS platforms, and digital product development.

As the Group Engineering Area Lead, I led the Engineering division, guiding a team of ~100 skilled developers specializing in backend, frontend, mobile, QA, and DevOps functions. With team members dispersed across three countries (Germany, France, and Spain) my role encompasses strategic leadership, cross-border collaboration, organizational transformation, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality solutions aligned with organizational objectives.

As the General Manager of Signa Sports Centro Técnico (Spanish Tech Hub), I lead a dynamic team of over 50 professionals, overseeing departments including Finance, Legal, and HR dedicated to the Spanish operations. My responsibilities encompass strategic direction, operational management, and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the hub.
