A Time of Recognition and Renewal for Chatsworth Products in Latin America

February 17, 2023

True to our global reach, Chatsworth Products' (CPI) has been serving and supporting ICT customers and partners in Latin America (LATAM) for over 20 years. During that time, there's been a singular, steady presence in the region who's grown the business, established countless meaningful partner and customer relationships, and delivered truly world-class service and support, CPI's longtime Area Director for Latin America, Alfonso Santos.

Now, after more than two decades of dedicated service, leadership and selfless sharing of his vast professional knowledge and winning spirit with customers and partners, which have helped form invaluable, long-lasting relationships along the way, Alfonso is ready to enjoy his hard-earned retirement later this month. It's only fitting that we take this moment to collectively salute and thank Alfonso Santos for all he's meant to CPI as a truly exemplary Employee Owner, and all he's meant to all of you too, our trusted partners and friends out across the industry, not just in Latin America, but around the world.

From CPI's incoming Director of Sales for Latin America, Sal Perez, to the entire LATAM team based out of CPI's Mexico City “Centro De Diseno Y Alta Tecnologia” (CDAT) Center, which Alfonso helped envision and launch way back in 2010, there's no shortage of people that have benefited greatly from Alfonso’s vast professional knowledge, skills and experience. Among them is CPI Employee Owner Giovanni Cuevas, who himself joined the LATAM team in 2016 as a Regional Sales Manager (RSM), and now after many solid years of professional growth and acquired leadership skills, also assumes an important new role as CPI's Area Manager for LATAM moving forward.

There's no doubt that CPI's success in the LATAM region is thanks to Employee Owners like Alfonso, Giovanni and many others, all of whom are excited and ready to continue serving our customers and partners in the region for another 20+ years and beyond!

That includes the folks seen here in the following photos, also taken at our Mexico City CDAT facility just this past week! Much of the team was on hand for important meetings to ensure a smooth transition, and of course, celebrate the past, present and future of what's to come. See the captions for more details.
