What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles bridging technical delivery and product strategy where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive secure cloud and network projects, and apply research-driven innovation to scale services.

I am an IT project and product management consultant with deep technical understanding and extensive experience across telecom, enterprise IT and incubation ecosystems. I combine project/program management certifications (PMP, CSPO, PSM I, ITIL) with hands-on delivery across networks, cloud and application landscapes.

My work spans end-to-end project leadership for VoLTE, rich communication services, large-scale application migrations, and telco security assessments, delivering on schedule and within cost while managing complex vendor and stakeholder environments. I have led regional core network rollouts and migrations, and introduced Agile practices to traditional application teams.

Academically, I am a DBA candidate researching dynamic capabilities for university business incubators with publications and prototype solutions such as a BRaaS concept, UBI Agents Marketplace and simulation tools. I hold an MBA (HHL) and a BSc in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, and I’ve been recognized for innovative DBA research.

I seek roles where I can bridge technical architecture, product development and strategic research to drive resilient, data-informed product and service outcomes, while mentoring teams and scaling practices across organizations.
