Acerca de Lisandro Valentin
🚀 I rescue high-stakes IT programs that are behind schedule, over budget, or stuck in vendor chaos.
8+ years delivering complex transformations across energy, finance, and retail:
- $15M enterprise system modernizations across 10 European markets
- Multi-vendor coordination (10+ vendors simultaneously)
- Zero-downtime deployments for 3,500+ operational sites
- Generated $1M+ in cost savings through strategic vendor negotiations
What I deliver:
- Enterprise & ERP system implementations (POS, SAP, payments, digital platforms)
- M&A integration & vendor transitions
- Digital transformation programs with measurable ROI
How I work:
I combine structured methodologies (PRINCE2, Agile, ITIL) with hands-on problem-solving. I've advised CIOs on make-vs-buy decisions, secured $20M+ in strategic funding, and kept senior stakeholders informed while coordinating daily delivery across distributed teams.
Why clients choose me:
- Proven track record in regulated industries (energy, finance, retail)
- Experience rescuing at-risk projects
- Fluent in English, German, Spanish - comfortable leading multicultural teams
- Available for remote (any duration) or hybrid/on-site projects (3-6 months) across Europe
Let's talk if you need an IT Project Manager who ensures business-critical programs are delivered successfully when stakes are high and timelines are tight.
