About Tomás

🌟 Currently offering a promotional rate while I build accredited hours toward ICF certification.

I'm an Executive, Leadership & Career Coach trained under ICF Level 2 standards, with 15+ years of experience in software leadership. I’ve grown teams from scratch, founded a QA services company, led departments as Head of QA, and worked with international clients in high-pressure environments.

I now offer 1:1 coaching sessions (60 minutes) focused on professional clarity, leadership growth, and career transitions. My style is practical, goal-oriented, and action-focused, with each session designed to create meaningful progress. Clients walk away with clear insights and concrete steps, and optional accountability between sessions.

I bring experience from working with fast-moving, high-growth tech companies and globally recognized brands - contexts where quality, delivery, and people dynamics intersect under pressure.

I'm bilingual (Spanish/English) and work across cultures and industries. My coaching is deeply human but never vague - anchored in your values and purpose, but always moving toward real, measurable change.

I'm happy to offer a free chemistry session—no pressure, just a space to see if we're a good fit to work together.

    Executive & Career Coach
    August 2024 - Today (1 year and 10 months)
    ICF-trained Executive Coach (Level 2 certification, in progress toward ACC credential). I support professionals in navigating career and leadership with clarity, focus, and a strong sense of purpose. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I coach international clients across cultures and geographies, offering a space where they can think clearly, act intentionally, and grow authentically. My coaching style is practical, goal-oriented, and results-driven — every session is designed to spark meaningful reflection and lead to action. Clients set the direction; I offer structure, challenge, and full presence along the way. When desired, I act as an accountability partner between sessions to help momentum turn into transformation. At the core, my work is grounded in empathy, values, and respect for each person's unique context. I aim to create a space where people can explore deeply, grow intentionally, and move forward with confidence — without sacrificing who they are. Key focus areas:
    • Career clarity and decision making
    • Leadership development and transitions
    • Value-aligned goals and purposeful growth

    Head of QA
    February 2019 - May 2023 (4 years and 3 months)
    Uruguay
    I joined Jam3 (later Experience.Monks) with the mission of developing their QA department, which initially consisted of 3 trainee employees. As the Head of QA, I played a pivotal role in transforming the department by implementing robust processes, introducing effective tools, and expanding the range of services offered. I created and defined new roles within the department, establishing a comprehensive structure that encompassed Software testers, QA analysts, Technical QA analysts and QA directors. Over the course of three years, I successfully grew the department from its initial three members to a talented team of 15 individuals. Through strategic hiring and comprehensive training initiatives, I built a strong team proficient in manual and functional testing. Additionally, I fostered technical expertise within the team, enabling them to excel in areas such as automation, performance, and security testing. Collaborating with Heads of other departments, I actively contributed to improving organizational processes and workflows. I took the lead in integrating digital accessibility into our work and played a crucial role in educating and training the organization on accessibility best practices. As part of the DEI committee, I actively promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the company. Furthermore, I assumed the role of director for all projects when the team lacked dedicated directors. As the QA director, I oversaw numerous projects for esteemed clients including Meta, Google, Spotify, NBA, eBay, adidas, and Levi's.
