The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee would like to note that, in addition to the background described below, which in the opinion of the Committee qualifies Mr. Migoya to serve in the Board due to his expertise and experience, Mr. Migoya is also one of the four founders of the Company who, currently serving as the Company´s Chief Executive Officer, brings strong value to the Board of Directors considering his deep knowledge of the Company´s business and industry.

 

Martín Migoya

 

Mr. Migoya has served as Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer since 2005. Prior to co-founding Globant, he worked as a trainee and technology project coordinator at Repsol-YPF, a consultant at Origin BV Holland and a business development director at Tallion. He founded our company together with Messrs. Englebienne, Nocetti and Umaran in 2003.

Mr. Migoya was selected as an Endeavor Entrepreneur in 2005 and won a Konex Award as one of the most innovative entrepreneurs of 2008. He was selected as an Argentine Creative Individual of 2009 ( Círculo de Creativos de la Argentina ) and received the Security Award as one of the most distinguished Argentine businessmen of 2009. He also received in 2009 the America Economía Magazine’s “Excellence Award”, which is given to entrepreneurs and executives that contribute to the growth of Latin American businesses.

Mr. Migoya holds a degree in electronic engineering from Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) and a master’s degree in business administration, from the Universidad del Centro de Estudios Macroeconómicos de Argentina. We believe that Mr. Migoya is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his intimate familiarity with our company and the perspective, experience, and operational expertise in the technology services industry that he has developed during his career and as our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

 

After careful review of the merits of Mr. Migoya, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends a vote FOR the re-election of Mr. Migoya as a director of the Company for a term to expire on the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held in 2021.
