Virginia Alvarez

Virginia Alvarez is a seasoned Project Manager and Business Analyst at Agileana. With a deep understanding of both client needs and technical workflows, she oversees the project from end to end—guiding it through every stage from requirements gathering to sprint planning, backlog management, and delivery. She is a strategic communicator and facilitator, ensuring alignment between internal teams and client priorities while maintaining timelines, budgets, and exceptional quality.

Virginia's unique strength lies in her ability to bridge the gap between people and technology. Early in her career at a digital marketing agency, she realized she had a natural talent for connecting with clients—earning their trust, understanding their goals, and translating those insights into actionable work for development teams. Since joining Agileana, Virginia has built an impressive career grounded in Agile principles. 

A defining moment in her professional journey came before her official first day at Agileana. Upon receiving her job offer, Virginia’s future manager recommended she read The Agile Samurai and The Elements of Scrum. With no prior Agile experience, she dove into the material—and everything clicked. The values of flexibility, responsiveness, and delivering meaningful client value resonated deeply and have stayed with her ever since. Those principles have helped her foster a relationship built on trust, consistency, and open communication—despite evolving team structures and client stakeholders.

One of Virginia’s proudest accomplishments is the longevity of her partnership with long-time client, Georgetown University, a collaboration that has weathered many transitions and thrived through a shared commitment to transparency, adaptability, and delivery. Her leadership of the Alpha team, and her stewardship of the project and client relationship, are testaments to her ability to navigate complexity while creating an environment where both clients and teams feel supported and understood.
Maria is guided by a set of core values that inform everything she does:

• Respect and transparency: Ensuring that both clients and teammates feel heard and supported.
• Empathy and flexibility: Listening first, understanding different perspectives, embracing change.
• Value-focused delivery: Striving to do what’s best for the client without compromising the team.

Virginia is a relationship-builder, a problem-solver, and a steady force of clarity and collaboration. With a leadership style rooted in trust, communication, and adaptability, she helps teams and clients work better together, and ultimately, deliver solutions that matter.
