Emilio is on a mission to change the way people work together on complex customer projects for the better. The impetus to start Leankor and help companies transform project management came from his own experience with industrial manufacturing projects where he witnessed the inherent challenges of such projects and kickstarted his quest to find a better way.
Emilio has over 20 years of experience in the tech sector, holding senior leadership, marketing and product management positions at hardware and software companies. His career adventures include senior management positions with SMART Technologies (NASDAQ:SMT) where he led a software division and was the head of global alliances and M&A, as well as Pervasive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), acquired by Actian Corporation, where he headed up worldwide product marketing. Prior to that, Emilio held senior product management and marketing roles for startups in Austin, Texas, Silicon Valley and Vancouver. He also spent a number of years with Accenture as a senior consultant specializing in the design of enterprise work management systems in the energy sector.
Emilio graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in computer science. He holds a wireless patent and has served on the board of several technology industry associations. Outside of changing the world of project management, Emilio enjoys spending time with his family and exploring the Rocky Mountains through hiking and skiing adventures.
