Camilo Madrigal

BDM LATAM, Absen

Apasionado por la tecnología, los proyectos de alto impacto y la innovación — especialmente cuando conectan con lo que sucede hoy y lo que está por venir en América Latina. Soy Business Development Manager para América Latina en soluciones LED profesionales, con experiencia liderando estrategias comerciales para videowalls y entornos visuales de alta disponibilidad. Conozco a fondo los desafíos técnicos y comerciales del sector ProAV, y me enfoco en ofrecer soluciones que combinan calidad, eficiencia y visión de futuro. Además, me dedico a preservar memorias: lidero un emprendimiento para digitalizar formatos analógicos como VHS, MiniDV, vinilos, fotografías y negativos, ayudando a familias a conservar sus recuerdos de manera segura y accesible en el mundo digital. Creo firmemente en la posibilidad de transformar industrias combinando experiencia técnica, enfoque comercial y un propósito claro. Mi motivación: crear valor real — para clientes, para usuarios finales, para las personas que quieren preservar lo que importa. Si compartes intereses en tecnología LED, transformación digital, digitalización de contenido legado o soluciones audiovisuales para América Latina, me encantaría conectar e intercambiar ideas.
