Biography
Jorge Santibañez is a solution architect, technology professional, and father with over a decade of experience across corporate sales, pre-sales, and IT infrastructure. Diagnosed with ADHD at age five in Chile, Jorge describes his neurodivergence as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it fuels rapid ideation, out-of-the-box problem-solving, high empathy, and strong relationship-building. On the other hand, it brings challenges with distractibility, sensory overload in noisy environments, and a tendency to jump between unfinished projects. Throughout his career, including more than 11 years at Dell, Jorge has leveraged his ability to read social dynamics and micro-expressions to build deep customer trust. In one notable instance, when a configuration error led to the ordering of extra hardware engines, his transparent communication and creative framing turned the mistake into a major long-term benefit for the client. Outside of technology, Jorge is an avid indoor skydiving enthusiast, using the intense physical coordination and focus of the wind tunnel to quiet mental chatter, ground his nervous system, and experience present-moment joy. As a father to a young daughter, he applies self-compassion and structured support to help the next generation navigate focus and self-acceptance.
