Background
Martín Migoya possesses an incredibly rigorous, deeply operational background in electrical engineering and massive corporate project management. Educated at the National University of La Plata and trained as a project manager at YPF (Argentina's state-owned oil company), this intense background navigating highly complex logistical operations provided the exact executive blueprint required to aggressively scale Globant.
Founding Story
Martín Migoya is a highly visionary Argentine technology entrepreneur and the legendary co-founder and CEO of the massive digital transformation juggernaut, Globant. In 2003, amidst a severe economic crisis in Argentina, Migoya and three friends (Guibert Englebienne, Néstor Nocetti, and Martín Umaran) met in a Buenos Aires pub and boldly decided to launch a global software services company. Leveraging the massive engineering talent pool in Latin America, Migoya aggressively scaled Globant from a small startup into a multi-billion dollar international powerhouse with tens of thousands of employees. Under his incredibly dynamic leadership, Globant became the very first Latin American software company to list on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, completely redefining the region's tech ecosystem.
