Hernán Arcidiácono has a degree in Electronics Engineering from Argentina's National Technological University, as well as a master’s degree in business administration.

Throughout his professional career, he has served in various roles as a specialist, manager, and director within the technical departments of different Internet service providers and data centers. Since 2013, he has been CTIO of IPLAN, a company he joined in 2000.

Since January 2009, Hernán is responsible for CABASE's IXP Buenos Aires, one of the multiple Internet Exchange Points that are part of the Argentine Internet Chamber.

Since its creation, he has also been part of LAC-IX, an organization that brings together the region's Internet exchange points.

He is currently part of LACNIC's Fiscal Commission, a position to which he was elected as a representative of our community. His term ends in 2026.

Hernán was a member of the Organizing Committee for the first edition of IGF Argentina which took place in Buenos Aires in 2016 and has participated as a panelist in several editions of this Forum. 

He has presented at many participation spaces, evangelizing on the role of IXPs as a key component for Internet development in the region.

Reason for the nomination:

I have been actively involved in the LACNIC community since 2009 and have always sought to contribute with my knowledge and expertise. At this stage in my career, while I may no longer be as closely involved with certain technical aspects, my background in management and leadership positions makes me well-suited for oversight and audit responsibilities, like my current roles on the LACNIC and LAC-IX fiscal commissions. Based on both my professional experience and the knowledge I have gained within the community, I believe I can bring similar value to the Review Committee.
