Meet our Nearshore Delivery Centers’ General Managers

Velocity Partners’ General Manager of our Argentina and Venezuela nearshore delivery centers, Cristian Gohlke is passionate about delivering quality results to our customers.  As our first Argentina hire, he was instrumental in helping to build a successful Agile team for VP’s Argentinian operations.  From the start, Cristian focused on hiring the “right people” and to establish a culture that is aligned with Agile methodologies and VP’s principles.  In fact Cristian’s own commitment and work ethic has led to a work culture that has very little employee attrition in both our Venezuela and Argentina delivery centers.

Cristian’s responsibilities include overall office management, project reviews and resource utilization, preparing nearshore staff for projects, coordinating staff training, recruiting, interviewing and hiring nearshore staff.  He started his career as a software engineer but quickly advanced to technology leadership positions. 

His background in software engineering has better prepared him to handle the challenges involved in managing our busy development centers. With a computer science degree from Comisión Argentina de Informática, he enjoys music, sports, and recreational activities in his spare time. 

Our General Manager of the Uruguay and Colombia delivery centers is Pedro Minetti.  One of Pedro’s strong suits is utilizing his interpersonal skills to build long-term relationships both in his personal and his business life.  His responsibilities include managing all operations in the region as well as local company growth, financial planning, and resource management.

With a career that has spanned more than 20 years, Pedro’s extensive background in information technology includes managing multiple global accounts along with overseeing and integrating large, multicultural teams.  Pedro studied at George Mason University and the Universidad de la Republica del Uruguay.  In his free time, he enjoys weekend camping trips or heading to the sea for scuba diving expeditions.
