Summary
Jaime Rodas is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building and scaling product and engineering teams across LATAM, now serving as VP of Engineering and Mexico Site Lead at Change.org. He combines hands-on technical judgment with operational rigor, having stood up new country operations, recruiting pipelines, and automated financial infrastructure at startups and scale-ups. As COO at Vest he navigated complex regulatory and banking environments to enable cross-border securities and instant money movement, then translated those processes into automated engineering solutions. Jaime has led product-to-engineering transitions, spun out ventures as a co-CEO, and grown engineering organizations from small teams to distributed groups across multiple countries. Based in Mexico City with a mechanical engineering background from Tecnológico de Monterrey, he brings an unusual mix of product, legal/operational strategy, and execution — and describes himself off-hours as a budding cook, designer, and professional procrastinator.
