Freelance trainer, facilitator and technical leadership coach. I connect the management layer — ITIL, governance, project management — with the technical layer — Python, data, DevOps, Linux — so training translates into real change for the team.
I am Marcelo Horacio Fortino, a trainer, facilitator and agile coach based in Barcelona. For more than three decades I have helped organizations across Europe and Latin America adopt IT governance frameworks (ITIL, COBIT), agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and technical capabilities in data, Python and DevOps.
What sets my way of working apart is that I don't stop at management theory or technical detail on their own: I design programs that bring both worlds together, and I sustain them with team facilitation, individual coaching and long-term mentoring — not just a one-off course that gets forgotten after three months.
I have trained consultants, managers and technical teams at European and multinational companies, and taught courses in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, English and Portuguese, both in person and remotely.
Training opens the relationship, facilitation and coaching sustain it, and mentoring turns it into a long-term partnership.
