Omar Soto Jimenez
CEMI stands for Connecting Execution, Management & Information — turning strategy into delivered technology outcomes. Over 20+ years as a C-level technology executive, I've built and scaled IT organizations, led enterprise platforms across 100+ locations, and directed the technology integration of 25–50 acquisitions.
My path started on the operations floor — manufacturing and the military — before moving into regulated financial services and, since, large-scale marine and asset-intensive enterprises. That range is why I can operate effectively in distributed, compliance-sensitive, and operationally complex organizations.
For engagements that need more than one person, CEMI draws on a network of senior technology specialists brought in as the scope requires.
Fractional CIO/CTO advisory on technology modernization, governance maturity, and M&A technology integration for Boards and executive teams.
Expanded the IT organization from 6 to 50+ professionals as the company scaled to 160+ locations through 25–50 acquisitions. Directed architecture for NExT (101-location platform), managed $19.6MM CAPEX / $13.45MM OPEX, built enterprise cybersecurity, SOX and GDPR programs, and sponsored Dockspot, a customer-facing SaaS platform.
Co-built a Dynamics CRM from scratch and led its cloud migration — later adopted as the global enterprise standard following Safe Harbor's acquisition of Rybovich. Built a data lake that drove 25%+ revenue growth.
Directed regional IT strategy and governance for a Swiss-origin broker-dealer and private banking organization across U.S. and Caribbean markets — financial services history, not a current focus.
Manufacturing operations at Motorola and Johnson & Johnson's regulated medical device line, following commissioning as a U.S. Army Signal Corps officer out of West Point.
