Jose FERREIRO

Senior IT, Data & Digital professional acting as a Fractional CTO and trusted advisor for companies seeking to structure, evolve, and optimize their technology environment without the need for a full-time executive role. I support companies during growth, transformation, or complexity phases by aligning IT systems, data, and digital platforms with business objectives. My approach combines strategic vision, hands-on execution and pragmatic decision-making, with a strong focus on cost efficiency, risk control, and long-term sustainability. I conduct end-to-end IT structure and cost analyses (organization, tools, vendors, skills) to identify opportunities for rationalization, simplification, and operational efficiency. When relevant, I define and support nearshoring or offshoring strategies, ensuring the right balance between quality, cost, security, governance, and continuity. I rely on an extensive network of partners and specialists, enabling me to deliver larger-scale initiatives and integrate cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, and modern data architectures. Areas of expertise include: • Fractional / interim CTO mandates and IT leadership; • IT strategy, architecture and governance; • IT cost optimization and sourcing strategies; • Web and digital platforms (websites, mobile app, SEO/GEO/AIO); • CRM and core systems (Salesforce, ERP); • Data platforms, analytics, AI (LLM) and automation; • Workflow optimization and team enablement; • IT hiring and candidate assessment (permanent and temporary profiles). Available for interim, part-time, and project-based engagements, as well as IT hiring, assessment and optimization assignments. Feel free to reach out to discuss your needs and explore how your IT, data and digital systems can be structured for measurable impact.
