Nestor J. Portillo

Nestor is a seasoned global technology strategist, lifelong learner, and passionate explorer of technology, people, cultures, geopolitics, and ideas.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with leading global IT organizations (IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Siemens, etc), helping drive innovation, business development & growth, digital transformation, and strategic partnerships across diverse markets.

Having lived in multiple countries, traveled extensively across much of the world, and become fluent in several languages, I bring a global mindset, multicultural perspective and a genuine appreciation for different ways of thinking, working, and collaborating.

These experiences have shaped my ability to develop business and to connect with people from all backgrounds (C-Level, IT, Business users), build trusted long lasting relationships, and navigate complex challenges in an increasingly interconnected world or major economy downturns.

I am passionate about turning vision into impact, fostering innovation, empowering & grow teams, and creating big and bold opportunities that bring people, ideas, and business success together.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy continuous learning, exploring new cultures, cooking and contributing to initiatives that create positive and meaningful change for individuals or the society.

I frequently collaborate to fight Cyber Bullying at different organizations, I'm a Trainer for a FEMA initiative called Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and enjoy being outdoor hiking with my dog or kayaking.

Today, Nestor J. Portillo resides in the vicinity of the Seattle Eastside.
