VP of Operations
Marcelo Blanco
Born in Washington D.C. but living most of his life in Bolivia, Marcelo also always strives for perfection in all his activities. As a Civil Engineer, it comes naturally for him to calculate every step of a project and manage teams to maximize their capabilities. These qualities are apparent even when he is not in the office, like in his busy outdoor life.
About me
Having an appetite for adventure, Marcelo has taken his passion for rock climbing and paragliding to a new level by establishing the first extreme sports service company in Bolivia, AndesXtremo S.R.L. Upon completing his studies in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing in the Netherlands, he traveled around the United States and Europe and visiting more than 30 cities in 15 countries around the globe which gives him a remarkable ability to work with global clients in any industry.
My goals
Marcelo has been involved in numerous engineering projects in Bolivia that have contributed to local development where he always stands out, completing every project on time and within budget. With those qualities, as VP of Operations, it is easy to understand why Marcelo is a perfect fit with TRUEXTEND’s requirement to become a leading company in the nearshore outsourcing industry.
