Ricardo Martins
Field CTO @ IBM
About
With over 20 years of experience leading technology, data, and digital platform teams, I specialize in driving digital transformation and innovation for businesses. As a CTO, I’ve successfully managed multidisciplinary teams using cutting-edge technologies like Python, ReactNative, NodeJS, and AWS Cloud, while implementing DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architectures to deliver scalable, resilient solutions. Under my leadership, Seguralta was awarded the 2024 Insurance Innovation Award by CNseg for the launch of Core, a super app designed for insurance brokers. I’ve also led Fikx to become a top 6% insurance company according to the Google DevOps Report, driven by a strong DevOps culture and data-driven strategies. In 2025, I was honored to be named Best LATAM CTO by the Insurtech Institute—a recognition that reflects the collective efforts of the incredible teams I’ve had the privilege to lead. My passion lies in transforming technology into a business-focused driver, enabling companies to leverage data and tech for growth, efficiency, and customer engagement. I thrive in environments that challenge the status quo and push for innovation. Let's connect to discuss how technology can drive your business's growth.
