A deep belief in people. A commitment to values. And a quiet confidence in being exactly who she is. These are the qualities that define Eliana Camacho’s journey.
Today, she’s the Senior Vice President of People & Culture for Valtech in the Americas — leading strategy across a fast-growing super-region. But for Eliana (or “Eli” to those who know her), it all started with a background in psychology and a belief that people are the heart of any transformation.
Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eli joined Valtech through the acquisition of Graion in 2016. But her journey with the business started long before that.
The same person that hired me 12 years ago is still part of the company and we still work together. This isn’t common across many companies and, to me, it’s amazing.
Building Something Bigger
Eli began as an HR Manager. Over time, she helped grow Valtech’s Latin American footprint — supporting expansion into Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, aligning regional teams and leading People & Culture through multiple M&As.
But nothing quite compared to 2024 — the year Valtech acquired Kin + Carta and welcomed 2,000 new colleagues across the region.
“From a People & Culture perspective, it was quite demanding. My team and I are at the front line of each M&A, and each integration comes with a lot of expectations — on both sides. We need to do our best to meet those expectations, while always continuing to show up well and take care of our teams.”
Navigating mergers, shifting cultures and redefining ways of working, Eli stepped into her current role as SVP for the Americas with clarity and purpose.
“We’ve always worked closely across the region, but now we’ve unified. It’s an opportunity to create more connected experiences for our people North to South.”
