CIO Tech World - Interview

A Life of Bold Moves, Big Ideas, and Constant Reinvention

From leading Satellite-driven fire fighting teams in Argentina to driving enterprise transformation for Microsoft, Shell, and Chevron, Carlos Diaz-Calvi’s career reads like a blueprint for fearless growth. He didn’t follow a straight path—he created his own.

A chance trip to Europe turned into a 25-year global adventure across Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, and the U.S., where he built PMOs, led digital modernization programs, and advised Fortune 100 giants. Along the way, he earned credentials from Harvard SE, embraced and evangelized Kaizen and Six Sigma, and became a leading voice in AI adoption and tech strategy.

But what sets Carlos apart is his blend of logic and creativity. He’s authored a dozen award-winning novels, paints in his spare time, with mindset that fuses art, curiosity, and innovation.

Now based in The Woodlands, Texas, Carlos helps others stay sharp in the AI era through coaching, executive advising, and leadership development. His mission: make technology human, practical, and empowering for all.
