Testimonials

Find out what others are saying.

I grew exponentially as a leader under the direction and mentorship of Guillermo. I came to recognize my strengths, while also being challenged to grow in areas I wasn't confident.

Jonathan Leftwich
Director of Engineering

Guillermo joined Untapped at a unique inflection point: we were shedding the technical debt of our Seed days and required a leader that not only understood the complexity of our code base, but had a vision for how we could build and actualize as we relentlessly pursued our mission. Uninterested in ego or the politics of a growing organization, Guillermo rallied the team, got to work and transformed the way we build at Untapped.

Tariq Meyers
Co-CEO & Co-founder

Guillermo’s insights helped me navigate the struggles of people management, guiding me towards what to focus on with my team to be an effective leader. He helped me demonstrate the business value of a people-centric approach with an emphasis on empathy, structure, and work/life balance. Guillermo’s dedication to my success was truly inspiring.
