His deep industry knowledge and strategic vision will be key to enhance nearshore services to the US market. For his part, Elia Santillán has solid experience in business management within the Company. By remaining at the helm of the local operation in Mexico, Elia will focus its efforts on continuing to consolidate Atento's leadership position in one of its most strategic markets, ensuring operational excellence, sustained growth and maximum proximity to local customers. Diego Crespo, who has been with the company for 28 years in Argentina and, since 2017, in Peru, will ensure a broad and consistent vision of the operations in Peru, where in recent years, he has led the programs and processes of technological transformation, in line with the company's strategy. "We optimized our structure to adapt to the needs of each client," said Dimitrius Oliveira, CEO of Atento. "Francisco will drive our nearshore strategy into the U.S., while ensuring exceptional service in every local market, both in Mexico and Peru." "I take on this new challenge with great enthusiasm and with the firm intention of consolidating the operations in Peru and Mexico as platforms of excellence for our clients in the United States," said Francisco Grillo.

Atento unveils new AI solutions suite for in-house CX operations. CRM and Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO) provider Atento has announced an expansion of its technology portfolio, specifically targeting organizations that choose to manage their customer experience (CX) operations internally. By providing these technologies to in-house teams, Atento aims to support organizations looking to improve efficiency and performance without outsourcing their entire customer service department. The initiative is designed to provide internal teams with the same level of technological sophistication typically found in large-scale outsourced environments. Pablo Sánchez, CMO at Atento, said: "Atento brings its expertise in BTO and democratizes access to advanced customer relationship management solutions for companies that keep their CX operations in-house." The expanded portfolio focuses on three core AI-driven pillars: * AI Agent Assist: This tool provides real-time support to human agents, offering "next best action" (NBA) and "next best offer" (NBO) suggestions. The goal is to reduce handling times and ensure brand consistency across interactions. * AI Advanced Insights: A data platform designed to transform operational data into actionable insights. The solution focuses on improving Net Promoter Scores (NPS) and employee retention by identifying friction points in the customer journey. * AI Agents: These tools automate multichannel interactions across voice, text, and multimedia. The technology is built to maintain personalization while managing high-volume workflows without human intervention. The offering combines CX consulting with automation, positioning Atento as a technology partner for companies that view customer relationships as a core internal asset. Sánchez added: "Thanks to streamlined processes, continuous investment in technology, and a people-centric approach, Atento is leading the evolution of customer experience operations and business transformation, influencing companies that view the customer relationship as fundamental and do not intend to outsource it," As enterprises become more protective of their first-party data and brand voice, some are pulling operations back in-house but find themselves lagging behind the AI capabilities of major outsourcers. By unbundling its technology from its headcount, Atento is tapping into a growing market of hybrid CX models. This move puts pressure on pure-play CX software vendors by offering tools that have been battle-tested in massive, real-world operational environments.
