Founder & CEO

Founded Ataraxy as a digital product agency in 2023. The process management framework I built became the differentiator behind the partial acquisition by White Pearl Technology Group, the publicly listed Swedish technology holding. Today the focus is building AI agents and delivering fractional consulting for companies across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. As founder and CEO I set strategic direction while a leadership team runs day-to-day operations.

Founder & CEO

Following the partial acquisition, Ataraxy operated as a joint venture with White Pearl Technology Group, and a part of the operation later merged with Sidetool.

Defined the product roadmap spanning campaign management, agent configuration, call flows, and analytics; authored the canonical functional documentation across 240+ Linear issues (published in Notion); designed the KAMS middleware proposal for managing Retell and LiveKit agents at scale and the PostHog instrumentation spec covering 14 custom events.

About

I am a product and technology operator working at the intersection of product development, data platforms, and artificial intelligence.

Today I operate as a fractional product and delivery leader, splitting time between active client engagements (Q CELLS North America, SMG) and a founder portfolio that includes Ataraxy/Sidetool, partially acquired by White Pearl Technology Group, and Kleva, a voice AI collections platform serving LATAM fintechs.

Earlier tenure: COO at SweatWorks (under $100K to $20M, Inc 5000 three years running) and Director of AI Delivery and Technical Operations at Verusen, where I led AI explainability productization and SOC 2 Type II readiness.

I do my best work inside complex or stalled situations: diagnosing what is actually broken, structuring the response, and seeing it through. Loyalty is to outcomes, not to org charts.

I write and speak about product organizations, AI transformation, and the philosophy of technology.
