His previous roles included a multitude of different responsibilities, from as managing the company’s international sales team and satellite monitoring product line to managing the daily duties of the VA USA, Jakarta, Seville offices and Madrid HQ.
Alvaro has carried out a great expansion of Integrasys since becoming CEO. The company now has offices in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Australia and has increased its staff size by 200% and revenue by 30% yearly between 2019 and 2022. In his first year as CEO, Integrasys’ profits grew by an astounding 300%, thanks to Alvaro’s management approach and skill in forming business partnerships. Alvaro has focused not only on new partnerships but also a much larger product line, expanding Integrasys’ offerings from 2 to 6 major products in only 4 years. He guided the company to invest in the defense sector by developing new RF interference cancellation technologies.
