Dave Lindon takes on a newly created General Manager role to strengthen Elevata's coordination across Brazil, Canada, and customer AWS initiatives.
São Paulo, Brazil and Toronto, Canada, June 24, 2026 -- Elevata has appointed Dave Lindon as General Manager, effective immediately. The newly created role connects commercial growth, technical execution, and operations as Elevata expands its cloud, data, and AI work across Brazil, Canada, and global AWS projects.
Why now
Elevata is growing in markets where customers and AWS partners need more than a strong technical proposal. They need clarity on priorities, economics, delivery ownership, and the path from strategy to architecture, production, and ongoing operation.
In Brazil, Elevata continues to expand migration, modernization, data, and AI work on AWS. In Canada, the company is expanding around production AI, data platforms, cloud modernization, and AWS innovation programs. Dave's role helps connect those motions so the company can grow without losing technical consistency or customer trust.
What Dave will lead
As General Manager, Dave will work across commercial growth, technical execution, and operations. In practical terms, the role is about improving how initiatives move from opportunity to architecture, scope, delivery, AWS funding, and ongoing operation.
For customers and partners, the change should show up as clearer plans, cleaner handoffs, and more predictable execution before, during, and after delivery.
Experience matched to the job
Dave co-founded OpsGuru and later served as General Manager, with responsibility for sales, marketing, partnerships, and the operating motion that helped bring the business from an international starting point into the Canadian AWS partner market.
At Elevata, that history maps to a related challenge: scaling across markets without losing technical depth, clear ownership, or focus on production outcomes.
“Dave has already helped build and scale in the AWS partner ecosystem at the stage Elevata is entering now. He understands the partnership motion, operating discipline, and customer trust required to grow with consistency. Bringing him in as General Manager strengthens our next stage across Brazil, Canada, and global operations,” said Bruno Machado Valerio, co-founder and Brazil CEO of Elevata.
“Elevata has the right ingredients: deep AWS expertise, strong customer relationships, and a team focused on practical outcomes. My focus is to help make that work clearer, more defensible, and more consistent as we grow, so customers and partners can move faster with confidence,” said Dave Lindon, General Manager of Elevata.
What changes for customers and partners
- Clearer ownership across sales, architecture, delivery, and operations.
- More discipline around choosing AWS initiatives with a real path to production and defensible economics.
- Stronger coordination between teams in Brazil and Canada.
- Continuity in Elevata's focus on AWS, data, AI, modernization, governance, and production outcomes.
In the coming weeks, Dave will also share practical perspectives on AWS-funded growth, AI economics, and disciplined delivery — themes that shape how Elevata helps customers choose the moves that actually pay off.
