Profile

The bridge between business, data and the product that ships.

My path combines business development, regional expansion and practical AI-tool building.

José Ramón Vergara

I don’t come from engineering — I come from the business side. That’s why I build AI that moves a number, not pretty demos, and translate between the boardroom and the product. Today I lead Growth, Data & AI at 99minutos, where I opened Argentina from zero.
