Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlberto Asuero is a seasoned technology founder and geospatial engineering leader with 13+ years building cloud-native platforms and product-focused teams. As co-founder and CEO of MOGU he now applies his technical and operational experience to SaaS for travel agencies, after scaling Geographica from a 6-person consultancy to a 45-person company and leading its acquisition by CARTO. As CARTO’s CTO he architected a next-generation spatial analytics stack across BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift and Aurora, helping secure a $61M growth round and transforming the product from Postgres-based SaaS to cloud-native scale. He is an active open-source contributor and vis.gl TSC member, with notable contributions to deck.gl integrations that bridge performant WebGL visualization and CARTO’s mapping services. Equally comfortable in backend, mobile and frontend work, he has hands-on experience from MVT and basemap issues to database schema and query optimization. Outside work he’s a kite surfer and father of two, a detail that reflects his appetite for challenge and balance.
