The company continues to expand in Latin
America with a new appointment, its growing team and operations,
and global network
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and
reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today
announced the appointment of Carlos Torales Montero as Vice
President, Head of Sales, Latin America, to build upon its global
network and growing customer base in the region. Carlos brings more
than twenty years of experience in the technology sector,
specifically in go-to-market strategy and talent development
efforts in new markets, to drive growth, and scale high-performance
organizations. Carlos comes to Cloudflare from Cisco, where he
managed commercial, enterprise segments, product sales, and
business development.
Cloudflare first invested in Latin America in 2014, expanding
its network into the region by establishing a data center in
Santiago, Chile. Today, Cloudflare’s global network spans more than
270 cities in more than 100 countries, including 36 cities across
Latin America. Building upon its robust in-region network and
partnerships, Cloudflare is planning to further expand in Latin
America and continues to grow its network footprint to connect
users and organizations globally.
“There is a significant online market in Latin America,
representing nearly 500 million Internet users. For years, Latin
America has been driving consistent and strong Internet use, being
the fourth largest region in terms of users online worldwide,” said
Matthew Prince, co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare. “Latin America
has always been a priority for Cloudflare, establishing our network
in the region early on and we have been expanding ever since. We’ll
be continuing this growth, with Carlos leading our efforts, to work
even closer with our growing and expanding Latin American customer
base.”
“The Internet is heavily relied on in Latin America and we have
been seeing a huge digital transformation acceleration. At the same
time, there has been an increase in cyber threats for organizations
of all types and sizes. At the end of last year, Cloudflare’s
network blocked an average of nearly seven billion attacks per day
in Latin America,” said Carlos Torales Montero, Vice President,
Head of Sales, Latin America at Cloudflare. “The power and scale of
Cloudflare’s network enables us to provide an extremely tailored
yet seamless security and performance platform to any Latin America
organization. I look forward to being part of equipping more and
more customers, and our partners, with the tools that are critical
to any business today.”
With millions of Internet properties powered by Cloudflare’s
network, the company already has many customers in the region, from
El Universal, to financial services like Naranja and cryptocurrency
services such as Bitso, as well as retailers like Facily and
Falabella. Cloudflare is also in partnership with a number of
organizations to extend its security, performance, and reliability
platform, such as through Alestra, Cipher, NeoSecure, TD Synnex,
TIVIT, and more.
“Distributing leading technology solutions to service the IT
ecosystem is core to what TD Synnex does, and that’s why we’ve been
partnering with Cloudflare for years as they continue to deliver on
providing leading Internet security, performance, and reliability,”
said Marcos Murata, VP and General Manager of Mexico, Latin
America, and the Caribbean Vendor Management at TD Synnex.
“Together we've been equipping businesses in Latin America and
their worldwide users. Cloudflare runs one of the largest networks
in the world with a specific focus on Latin America and we’re
excited to be in continued partnership with them as they expand
even more into the LATAM region.”
“There has never been more of a focus on mobility,
cybersecurity, and business continuity for organizations. Alestra
addresses these critical elements with a comprehensive solution for
Latin American businesses in partnership with Cloudflare,” said
Luis Arturo Rosales, Director de Estrategia de Colaboración y
Ciberseguridad at Alestra. “Cloudflare’s global network being one
of the largest and most interconnected in the world, enables the
delivery of these solutions in the most secure, fast, and reliable
way based on user location. With their expansion into Latin
America, we’re excited to continue our work with them in equipping
more and more customers.”
“Extending cybersecurity solutions to businesses across Latin
America is something that we’ve been delivering with Cloudflare for
years,” said Paulo Boniccu, Global Chief Sales & Marketing
Officer at Cipher. “Every company and every industry is different,
and that’s why Cipher uses Cloudflare’s broad platform to deliver
tailored solutions to companies, considering everything from threat
actors to regulations and compliance requirements. From financial
services, to manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and energy and
utilities, we’re excited to be equipping more Latin America
businesses with Cloudflare.”
“TIVIT positions itself in the market as a one stop shop
company, which is present in ten Latin American countries and
supports large customers to solve their business challenges. This
requires that we continue to support them with innovative solutions
and, in partnership with Cloudflare, grow and drive business across
the region,” said Daniel Galante, TIVIT Executive Director and Head
of Cloud Solutions and CyberSec. “We've seen how this can be
achieved by extending Cloudflare's platform that encompasses
solutions for Internet security, performance, and reliability that
businesses need to move forward. We are excited to see Cloudflare
further expand its business in Latin America, the results are sure
to be excellent.”
“There’s a wide and sophisticated range of cyber threats present
across the business landscape, and this applies to organizations
ranging in size and their business focus. We have been partnering
with Cloudflare to deliver protection capabilities to Latin America
organizations through their comprehensive platform addressing
today’s emerging threats,” said Rogerio Reis, NeoSecure Head of
Sales & Delivery. “NeoSecure is the largest cybersecurity
company in the Latin America region with a focus on Managed
Services, and we’re excited to serve even more customers as part of
Cloudflare’s further expansion into the region.”
