Background

About Manlio Spinelli

Those who live with passion never grow old.”) With more than 25 years in the telecom and IT industries, I have had the privilege to live and work across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, leading some of the most strategic accounts and regional transformations in the sector. My career spans development, delivery, sales, and executive leadership — all of which have shaped my belief that technology only matters when it empowers people. I currently serve as SVP Heading CALA and Telefónica Global at Amdocs — a dual responsibility that spans one of our largest global accounts as well as the broader LATAM region. In both roles, I focus on driving growth, strengthening profitability, and, most importantly, building trusted customer relationships that last. My leadership style is defined by energy, integrity, and execution, paired with a passion for building unity across cultures. Fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish, I thrive on collaboration, fast decision-making, and ensuring that both customers and teams feel supported to achieve their goals. Outside of work, I am an avid traveler who draws energy from experiencing new cultures. Family is central to who I am, and the same values of trust, honesty, and passion that guide me at work are those I carry into life at home.
