From witnessing waste
to facilitating change

Change & Scale exists because I got tired of watching smart teams make expensive mistakes.

The Origin Story

After 15 years in technology and an MBA, the pattern was undeniable: brilliant developers building their way to bankruptcy. Not because they lacked skills, but because they lacked context.

The turning point came at ClicOh. Hired as a DevOps consultant, the CTO's real need was different: "The developers don't want QA."

Instead of forcing processes, I facilitated discovery. Eight sessions later, those same developers were demanding QA implementation. They discovered the need themselves.

"That's when everything clicked: lasting change comes from within, not from consultants with PowerPoints."

I've witnessed entire teams dissolve when companies pivot. In one last-mile startup, when they merged with an international partner and changed direction, the best developers left first—not because of the tech, but because they believed in the original vision.

These experiences shaped Change & Scale's approach: help teams discover for themselves what truly serves their business.

The Approach

Founded by Daniel Opicatto, Change & Scale transforms technical teams through focused 8-week facilitation programs.

This isn't traditional consulting. It's skilled facilitation that helps teams discover what they already know but haven't connected: every technical decision is a business decision.

Based in Madrid and Buenos Aires, working with teams globally. In-person or remote. Same methodology. Same results.

MBA | 15+ years in Tech | Technical Manager turned Facilitator

"I've been the technical manager watching teams burn investor money on perfect architecture for users that never came. I've seen startups with brilliant code fail because developers didn't understand the business.

My background spans development, management, and business strategy. This unique perspective helps me ask the questions that spark transformation.

I've seen €2M Series A companies running Kubernetes for 100 users, teams spending more time on CI/CD than talking to customers. After witnessing the same expensive mistakes repeatedly, I knew I had to do something different.

Today, I facilitate teams in discovering what I learned the hard way: your architecture should scale with your revenue, not your ego."

The Philosophy

Change & Scale: Small by design, not by limitation.

Why boutique works:

  • • No junior consultants learning on your dime
  • • Direct access to 15+ years of experience
  • • Consistent methodology, proven results
  • • Personal investment in your success

The difference:

I'm not a consultant. I'm a facilitator. I don't impose best practices or deliver PowerPoints. I guide your team to discover what they already know deep down: that sustainable growth comes from aligning technology with business, not from chasing the latest framework.

For specialized needs, I collaborate with select senior professionals who share this philosophy: real change comes from facilitation, not imposition.
