Professional Journey

Adistec was established in 2002 and has grown into a value-added distributor for Latin America and the Caribbean. Its model is wholly channel-based: it does not sell to end customers, but supplies resellers and integrators with vendor products alongside financial support and local billing, logistics and inventory, market development and pre-sales engineering. Its portfolio, as listed by the company in 2026, includes Fortinet, VMware, Veritas, Lenovo, NetApp, Rubrik, Cohesity, ExaGrid, SentinelOne and Zscaler, among others.

Sperman leads the company jointly with Fabián Sperman; both are described by Adistec as CEO and co-founder. The company’s scale has grown well beyond its origins. Its own release from May 2026 describes a team of more than 600 people, including more than 70 certified engineers specialising in datacenter and security, across 17 countries, with headquarters in Miami.

The most visible fixture of Adistec’s partner programme is the Adistec Connect F1 Experience, held around the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix. The 2026 edition, from 1 to 3 May, drew more than 400 executives from partners and vendors including Fortinet, Veeam, Commvault, ExaGrid, Lenovo, AMD, Omnissa and Quest Software. Sperman described the event’s purpose in practical terms: it is where the company sets its commercial roadmap for the year with its partners. The company used the occasion to state its growth goal publicly, reporting turnover of more than $650 million in the prior year and a target of $1 billion.
