I am a passionate venture builder and experienced ICT program/project manager, integrating strategic thinking,
innovation management and technology acumen. My favourite topics are advanced analytics, artificial intelligence
and digital transformation.
My trademark is the ability to generate strategic insights, translate them into new value propositions, and drive
the product development and implementation, considering client environment, budget, technology and operating
model constraints. I build and lead high-performance teams, a mix of domain experts and technologists, to deliver
new value propositions on a global scale.
