Andrés Angelani: An Inspiring Journey from Buenos Aires to Silicon Valley
Andrés Angelani began his career with the Argentinian company Globant when it was just a small startup in the digital services sector.
He played a pivotal role in building software development teams, expanding the client base, and contributing to the company’s growth from under two million dollars in revenue to becoming a public company listed on the US stock exchange in 2014.
Leading Softvision and the Cognizant Phase
Angelani then moved to Softvision where he served as CEO. During his leadership, Softvision was acquired by the global company Cognizant, making Angelani responsible for managing the global Digital Engineering segment—a multi-billion-dollar sector—where he successfully developed digital solutions and products at scale.
The Speedcast Experience
Before joining Wizeline, Angelani served as President of Digital Transformation and a Board Member at Speedcast.
There, he led efforts to modernize products, develop digital systems, and automate operational processes, in addition to building new software capabilities for the company.
The Wizeline Stop and a New Direction
In April 2024, it was announced that Andrés Angelani was appointed CEO of Wizeline, succeeding founder Bismarck Lepe, who transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman of the Board.
Angelani’s new mission is to lead the company toward global expansion and reinforce its focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a core component of its services.
Achievements in Record Time
Since taking the helm, Angelani launched the AI.R+ framework, which aims to accelerate productivity and support clients on their journey to transform into AI-driven business models. During the second quarter of 2024, Wizeline, under his leadership, secured new contracts valued at approximately $50 million, added 11 new clients from diverse sectors, and expanded its presence in Latin America by opening a new delivery center in Argentina and hiring over 200 people in Mexico and Colombia.
Visionary Leadership and Transformative Thinking
Angelani is known for being both a hands-on leader and a strategic thinker, focusing on the importance of organizational culture, flexibility in the face of change, and aligning the company’s vision with market needs.
He also regularly contributes articles and interviews on topics such as digital transformation, the integration of AI in business, and the role of innovation in corporate growth.
Today, Angelani is steering Wizeline through an amplified international expansion phase, with the company aiming to cement its position as a global provider of digital engineering services and AI-powered products, alongside plans to enter new markets and increase its participation in global exhibitions and conferences.
