Pedro Martinez brings 25+ years of technology leadership across banking, fintech, and government. As former CIO and CISO at Zenus Bank and senior technology leader at Capital One and Dynata, he has built and secured the systems that financial institutions depend on daily.

He founded Pegado to give bank CEOs direct access to the caliber of strategic technology advice that once required a full-time executive hire — without the overhead, the ramp-up time, or the institutional conflicts of interest that come with large firms.

Our Approach

Precision over noise

No boilerplate frameworks. No junior-led discovery. Every engagement starts and ends with executive-level accountability.

Step 01

Executive Briefing

A confidential conversation to understand your strategic landscape, regulatory environment, and technology priorities. No pitch. No boilerplate. A real executive-to-executive conversation.

Step 02

Focused Assessment

We analyze your infrastructure, security posture, and competitive position to identify the highest-impact opportunities and the risks that demand immediate leadership attention.

Step 03

Precision Delivery

We embed with your team to implement solutions at the speed of banking — fast enough to compete, deliberate enough to keep your regulators and board comfortable.
