AWS selects new Mexico director

Amazon has promoted Rubén Mugártegui to general director of AWS Mexico. Joining AWS in 2018, he was previously director of enterprise for Latin America at the company and based in the US.

“I am thrilled and excited to share that I have accepted the amazing opportunity to be the Country Manager of Amazon Web Services in Mexico,” Mugártegui said on LinkedIn. “I will go back to my beloved country, along with my family, to start this new chapter in my career grateful, humble, and thoughtful about the huge responsibility that this represents to impact the local communities and future generations positively.”

Prior to AWS, Mugártegui worked at Rackspace and Microsoft. He replaces Luis Velasco, who had been country director since 2020. He said: “Dear Partners, colleagues, and team. I want to thank you for the support you have given me in these almost three years to take Amazon Web Services (AWS) Mexico to an indisputable position of leadership in the cloud services and solutions with which we work in our portfolio.” Data Center Dynamics
