Summary
Marcos Farias is the founder and CEO of Arki1, a Google Cloud Authorized Training Partner recognized six years running as LatAm’s top ATP, combining entrepreneurial leadership with hands-on technical training. With nine years of focused cloud and internet-industry experience and ten Google Cloud certifications, he blends pre-sales consulting, instructional delivery, and solution architecture to help organizations adopt cloud technologies. He built Arki1 from the ground up after a decade of product and project roles, scaling a team that turns complex cloud concepts into practical training and deployments. A physicist by training (USP) with an MBA in IT Governance, he brings analytical rigor and governance-minded discipline to technical education and pre-sales strategy. Not obvious at first glance, Marcos moved into full-time training and company building after leading end-to-end Google product projects—including demos, PoCs and pilots—so he knows both the business and technical sides of adoption. Based in São Paulo, he is a seasoned communicator who leverages classroom experience to accelerate customer outcomes and cloud fluency.
