PEMEX
and we need so much help . If you ’ re someone that is ambitious , that is young and can see the silver lining coming to work for us , it ’ s the perfect place . That story has not been told or communicated yet – we ’ re seen as a monolithic company and what we ’ re trying to show is a different kind of Pemex . We ’ re open , we ’ re looking for talent , we ’ re looking for young people , and we ’ re going to give them the opportunity to develop their skills .”

THE ROAD AHEAD

Both from a cultural and implementation point of view , Pemex is beginning to make strides , evidenced by the fact that Becerra Mizuno has been recognised as a top 100 CIO in Mexico and a HITEC-50 2018 Award winner .
“ I think success is something that you share ,” he says . “ It ’ s something that you can ’ t do alone . I ’ m very fortunate to have the people that I have around me . The most important thing for me has been the support of the two CEOs that I ’ ve had the pleasure to work with . The current CEO Carlos Trevino is so open , so dynamic and so supportive of what we do . He is really the transformation CEO for us .”
But what about the path in front of Pemex and Becerra Mizuno ? For the CIO , three important targets and ambitions remain .
“ The first thing is to deliver the things that we said we would deliver . To make sure that we overdeliver what we have promised and that we meet the expectations that we have set for the team and for the technology department of Pemex . “ The second thing for us is , as you know , we have a big transition coming with a new administration coming in December . I would love to see a lot of the building blocks and the strategies that we have implemented become lasting . Pemex is going in the right direction , which has been validated by many experts . “ The third big piece is to make sure the people in the team continue to believe that there are good things coming ahead , that they continue to be motivated , so the momentum continues whether I ’ m here or not . That ’ s the most important thing for me .”
