Homero Padilla Cano
Chief Technology & Information Officer @ Farmacias Benavides
About
I’m a transformation-driven technology leader with nearly two decades of experience in enterprise architecture, agile development, and digital innovation. Currently serving as IT Development and Projects Director at Farmacias del Ahorro—Mexico’s largest pharmacy chain—I’ve led high-impact platforms across PoS, eCommerce, loyalty programs, and omnichannel systems. But what truly drives me goes beyond delivering technology. It’s about designing systems that serve people, shaping processes that bring clarity, and cultivating cultures that evolve with intention. ⸻ I thrive at the intersection of: • Strategic architecture & business value • Agile execution & long-term vision • Human-centered leadership & measurable outcomes ⸻ I believe IT should no longer be a support function—it must be a strategic engine for revenue, trust, and transformation. Whether I’m guiding development teams, advising C-level initiatives, or rebuilding ecosystems from the ground up, I lead with presence, curiosity, and a relentless focus on outcomes that matter. ⸻ Open to CIO, CTO, or CDO-level opportunities where strategy, innovation, and team evolution converge.
