ABOUT FRANCISCO BARCENAS SOTO
I build things that scale. Teams, systems, procurement organizations, transformation programs — if it’s complex, cross-functional, and needs to actually work, that’s where I show up.Over 15 years I’ve led operations globally, with deep roots across North America, Latin America, and South America — managing organizations of 150+ people, governing multi-billion dollar spend portfolios, and delivering results across some of the most demanding commercial environments in telecom and technology.My work sits at the intersection of three things I’m genuinely passionate about: procurement and sourcing strategy, AI-driven transformation, and global program leadership. I’m certified in AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science — and I apply all of it. Smarter workflows, faster decisions, leaner operations — that’s the standard I hold my teams to.I’ve built high-performing multicultural teams from scratch, redesigned governance frameworks that actually stick, and aligned sourcing and delivery strategies to what the business truly needs — not just what looks good in a deck. Throughout my career I’ve been recognized as a top contributor six or more times across multiple organizations — and received Retention Awards from more than one company. That kind of recognition isn’t something I chase. It’s a byproduct of how I work.Bilingual in English and Spanish. Comfortable in the boardroom and just as comfortable working alongside the team.If you’re looking for a leader who can drive transformation at scale — in procurement, AI enablement, or complex program delivery — let’s talk.
