Enterprise experience, entrepreneurial mindset

I'm Manuel Villafane — a technologist, strategist, and builder. After 13+ years leading digital transformation, AI strategy, and business systems across both the public and private sectors, I founded Spark I/O to bring that same enterprise-grade expertise to businesses of every size.

My career includes playing a key role in KnowBe4's successful IPO and Go-To-Market strategy, leading M&A technology integrations, architecting enterprise Salesforce platforms, and consulting at Accenture and Honeywell Aerospace. I've seen what works — and what doesn't — at every scale.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I'm passionate about helping businesses — especially in underserved markets — leverage AI and technology to compete at the highest level. Spark I/O is where that mission lives.
