José A. De Barros

Engineering discipline defines how I operate; strategic flexibility defines how I lead. From field troubleshooting in LATAM to directing global key accounts for AMETEK Fluid Analysis, I’ve built a career blending technical depth, commercial strategy, and cross‑continental execution — strengthened by managing complex situations and adapting through difficult times.

I’ve re‑engineered the global KAM framework, led multi‑year negotiations with large enterprises across Oil & Gas, Mining, and Power‑Gen, delivered bespoke solutions, and executed complex projects from Australia to Mexico.

My path includes managing and restructuring over 50 distributor networks across EMEA, LATAM, Russia & CIS, driving growth in more than 30 countries and cultures. I also led major digital transformation initiatives — building the US aftermarket Web Store, modernizing Salesforce CRM, and scaling Inside Sales teams across borders. Before that, I co‑founded and scaled a project development firm in Venezuela, and began my career servicing ICP, XRF, and IR instruments across LATAM.

Venezuelan by birth, Portuguese by family, Italian by choice. Two decades where engineering rigor meets global strategy.
