Meet Our New Latin American Host: Miguel Cockburn
We're thrilled to introduce Miguel Cockburn as the new host of our upcoming Spanish-language edition of The IT Business Partner Playbook - a platform designed to bring authentic, regional stories to life across Latin America.
In this special episode, I speak with Miguel about his 30+ year career journey, from engineer to regional IT director and BRM capability champion. His story is one of evolution, trust-building, and quiet leadership across multiple countries, cultures, and business functions.
Covered in this episode;
🔹 Miguel shares how he moved from being perceived as “just IT” to becoming a valued strategic partner.
🔹 He reflects on earning trust in a matrixed organisation – where he compensated authority, with deep business knowledge.
🔹 He explains why focusing on people, outcomes, and value matters more than job titles or budget lines.
🔹 And he tells us what inspired him to put so much effort into supporting the Spanish community – including hosting this podcast.
Miguel’s calm, relational, and humble leadership style is exactly what this role, and this region, needs more of. I’m really excited to see where takes this platform!
📣 If you're a BRM or IT business partner working in Latin America, we want to hear your story!
In your language, on your terms.
Let’s build a space where Business Partners across the region can learn from each other and feel truly seen.
