About Hernán González Buteler

From the beginning of my career, I’ve been driven by curiosity, about how things work, how teams build, and how technology transforms ideas into something real.I never wanted to just manage projects, I wanted to build systems that matter, through people, structure, and technology.That mindset led me through many paths:I worked at Google, where I learned how the best engineering teams operate; I co-founded and scaled a software company from 3 to 20 people; and later, I led AI and SaaS projects across startup and scaleup environments, turning complex ideas into data-driven, production-ready products.Every step taught me the same lesson: great products are built where technical precision meets effective human collaboration.Today, as a Senior Technical Project Manager, I help cross-functional teams deliver scalable AI and software solutions, from prototype to production, aligning technology with business outcomes and ensuring delivery on time, within scope, and with measurable impact.I thrive at the intersection of technology, learning, and people: translating complexity into clarity, aligning vision with execution, and driving progress one sprint at a time.Curiosity keeps me learning.Commitment keeps me building.And effective teamwork makes it all possible.KEY SKILLS:• Project & Program Management: Project Planning & Execution, Scope & Requirements Management,Budgeting & Cost Control, Quality Assurance, Resource & Capacity Planning, Change Management,Stakeholder Management, and Risk Mitigation.• Agile & Delivery Frameworks: Agile (Scrum, Kanban), Waterfall, and Hybrid Models.
