Summary
Carlos Araujo is a Technical Director based in Quito with over 15 years of hands-on software development experience and a proven track record leading high-performing teams at Verndale. He combines deep expertise in enterprise web platforms—Sitecore, AEM/CQ, and Optimizely—with solid Java and .NET engineering skills to deliver complex DXP projects, integrations, and personalization at scale. Known for translating technical concepts into clear strategic plans, he pairs technical project management with talent recruitment and mentorship to drive delivery on time and within budget. A Harvard Business School Online Management Essentials alumnus, he brings a strategic business perspective to technical decisions and continuous improvement. Less obvious: he blends low-level CMS engineering (OSGi bundles, HTL, Solr/Lucene) with people-first leadership, making him equally comfortable in code reviews and executive conversations.
