Carlos Vivas is a 5X founder and Fractional CDO/CIO who specializes in building simple, effective solutions to complex problems.
With a background spanning FinTech, GeoSpatial, Data, and FoodTech, he’s led the creation and growth of ventures that combine strategic vision with practical execution. His focus is always the same: deliver real value to users and measurable impact for organizations.
In his role as a Fractional Chief Data & Information Officer, Carlos works with companies that need senior-level digital and data leadership—without the overhead of a full-time executive. He’s brought structure to chaos in fast-scaling environments, modernized legacy platforms, led cloud transformations, and built data strategies that align with core business goals. His approach is refreshingly hands-on and direct: no overcomplicated frameworks or drawn-out slide decks—just clear thinking, fast action, and tangible results.
Carlos’s latest venture is MyKitchenOps, launched under the Calima Innovations umbrella -an innovation hub that brings to life practical solutions to day to day problems. Designed for restaurant, food manufacturing and hospitality teams, it simplifies operational complexity—ingredient and prep tracking, recipe management, menu planning, ordering, and inventory—into a clean, intuitive system. It’s a natural extension of Carlos’s core philosophy: reduce friction, empower teams, and build tools that just work, even in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
Across all his work, Carlos brings agility, clarity, and a problem-solver’s mindset. He thrives in ambiguity, moves fluidly across disciplines, and knows how to uncover opportunities others miss. Whether building companies or stepping into executive roles, he delivers smart, scalable solutions built for speed, simplicity, and long-term value. Clients trust him to turn vision into traction—and deliver results that stick.
