What I'm looking for
I am a business leader, consultant, and entrepreneur with a strong background in financial services, trading, and digital transformation.

Previously, as a Country Manager for FXCL Markets Ltd., I successfully led market expansion, business development, and strategic partnerships in the financial sector.
I have a deep understanding of Microsoft technologies, including Dynamics 365, Office 365, and Azure, which I leverage to drive business automation and digital efficiency. My experience spans the public sector, financial services, and consumer markets, where I have helped businesses implement cloud-based solutions and scalable digital strategies.
Additionally, I have expertise in building long-term, profitable relationships with mid and large-sized organizations.

My track record includes leading multi-million-dollar transformation deals, developing consulting offerings and assets, and driving repeatable sales models for enterprise clients.
Beyond financial services, I am deeply interested in technology-driven business solutions, public health consulting, and urban development.
