ALBERTO GUTIERREZ

CEO And Founder / Director Of Operations
San Jose

Summary

I am an experienced operations leader and entrepreneur, currently serving as the Founder & CEO of a company specializing in affordable, high-quality remote talent from Central America and the Director of Operations for Metal Building Resources, LLC. With a proven track record in optimizing business processes, I excel at driving operational efficiency, leading cross-functional teams, and implementing growth-driven strategies.

As CEO, I founded a company that exclusively partners with Central American talent to provide top-tier virtual support for over 30 US businesses at the most affordable price in the market. Unlike other companies using talent from the Philippines or India, we eliminate accent issues and timezone barriers by offering clear communication, multilingual support, and timezone alignment, helping businesses grow efficiently while maintaining quality and reducing costs.

As Director of Operations, I oversee multiple departments, enhance productivity, and ensure the smooth execution of daily operations, with a strong focus on streamlining workflows and improving quality standards.

I am passionate about delivering cost-effective solutions that drive success, with a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and operational excellence.
