Background
Martín Umaran possesses a deeply pragmatic, highly operational background in international corporate development and aggressive business expansion.

Founding Story
Martín Umaran is a prominent Argentine business executive and one of the four legendary co-founders of the massive digital transformation juggernaut Globant. In 2003, alongside his friends Martín Migoya, Guibert Englebienne, and Néstor Nocetti, Umaran helped completely transform the Latin American technology landscape by launching the IT services company from a Buenos Aires pub. Serving as the Chief Corporate Development Officer and President of EMEA, Umaran was absolutely critical in aggressively scaling Globant's massive international presence, seamlessly bridging the gap between Latin American engineering talent and massive European and American corporate clients, ultimately helping steer the company to its historic 2014 NYSE IPO.
