Manuel Humberto Santander Peláez

Chief Information Technology Officer in Medellín, Colombia

Manuel leads technology in critical energy infrastructure. At Colombia's largest natural gas transmission network, spanning 4,033 km of pipeline and ~56% of the national market, he owns both the SCADA layer that keeps the network running and the commercial, data and analytics stack built on top of it. That intersection of industrial operations and business technology is rare, and it is where his best work has happened: a 78x faster contract cycle and USD 5M in board-reported EBITDA impact.

His path spans two decades across energy, telecommunications and financial services, protecting utilities (power, water, gas, telecom), analytics, loyalty and marketplace organizations. He builds technology the business can bet on, turning reliability into revenue and continuity.
