A leader who has already built technology at a global scale.
“I help CEOs, Boards and investors turn technology into a competitive advantage — accelerating growth, resilience and innovation.”
For over two decades, Valentino Gallo has led technology at the highest level — most recently as Chief Information & Technology Officer for Grupo Vázquez, and previously as a global CIO/CTO across banking, energy and healthcare multinationals operating on five continents.
A customer-first executive, he specializes in leading large-scale digital transformations in complex, highly regulated environments — building global, high-performance, data-driven organizations with direct impact on business results.
He has led technology organizations of more than 1,600 professionals and stewarded annual budgets above USD 100M — delivering core banking migrations, multi-cloud platforms and corporate AI at scale, from digital banks and fintechs to renewable-energy and life-sciences multinationals.
Across more than 35 companies he has architected digital transformations, AI Centers of Excellence and technology due diligence for M&A — consistently turning complexity into measurable performance, resilience and value creation, including over USD 40M in efficiency gains.
An MIT-trained technology leader (CTO Program) and member of the CIONET Advisory Board, he now advises CEOs, Boards and investors as a trusted partner who has already built, scaled and de-risked technology globally.
