1 Jul

Marcelo S. Ancelmo has 25 years (and counting) of IT experience and has done a bit (or would it be a byte) of everything. A good old-fashioned troublemaker, he started his professional career as a Java programmer, fell in love with architecture (a passion he still pursues today), dove into middleware (with no regrets), built high-performing teams, and explored infrastructure and operations.

Deeply engaged in the tech community, Marcelo joins Meetups wherever he goes, teaming up with JUGs, helping organize events when time allows, and contributing to working groups and committees. Along the way, he’s delivered consulting, training, mentorship, and conference talks.

Today, he's Head of Solution Architecture at KPMG Switzerland, helping the company drive its digital transformation toward sustainable business agility, fueled by Architecture and DevOps, learning everything possible and enjoying the bumps along the ride.

Team Topologies Advocacy

Over the past four years, Marcelo has been driving the adoption of Team Topologies at KPMG Switzerland. He is responsible for enabling internal product teams to understand the values, principles, key concepts, and how to apply them, together with product orientation and DevOps practices, and how they connect to the company's strategy, using Wardley Mapping, Domain-Driven Design, and Flow Engineering.

Part of his enablement work consists of helping teams identify and define the different teams by identifying a proper fracture plane, considering their domain and expertise, the internal and external interactions with other teams (including dependency management), and defining and publishing their Team APIs.

Marcelo also speaks at conferences and meetups about Team Topologies and the journey of adopting it at KPMG Switzerland.
