Diego Pedroza is a results-driven Head of Engineering with over a decade of experience scaling product-led teams and building AI-enabled, cloud-native platforms across Latin America. As a two-time co-founder and former VP of Engineering, he has led organizations from early growth to scale—driving standout metrics like 220% user growth at Datagran and consistent 50% annual user growth at Influur while managing teams of 25–75 engineers. He combines hands-on engineering (Python, GCP/AWS, React/Node) with strategic operational improvements—cutting project timelines by 45%, boosting delivery speed up to 80%, and negotiating infrastructure savings north of $500K. Diego has a track record of shipping customer-facing AI/ML systems that saved hundreds of hours monthly and materially improved retention and revenue. Based in Bogotá with formal training in cloud architecture and technology leadership, he blends entrepreneurial grit with mentorship-focused management to grow engineering leaders as well as products. An interesting, often unseen strength: he pairs rapid delivery for high-tempo campaigns with long-term platform investments that sustain growth across multiple countries.
