What I'm looking for

I seek senior pre-sales or solution-architecture roles where I can drive AI/ML and cloud infrastructure strategy, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable business outcomes in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am an Enterprise Solution Architect and Sales Engineering Lead with 20+ years in pre-sales and technical leadership, focused on AI/ML infrastructure and digital transformation. I use a consultative approach to build trusted partnerships with C-level stakeholders and translate complex business needs into technical solutions.

I've architected multi-tenant, multi-tiered, high-availability platforms and delivered solutions across AI/ML, HPC and data-intensive applications, driving large-scale deals and partner ecosystems. I influence product roadmaps by capturing field insights from strategic initiatives.

In regional leadership roles I have led pre-sales strategy, enablement, PoVs and technical evaluations, contributing to major revenue growth, client retention, and improved PoC efficiency. I have experience executing OEM and managed services partnerships and collaborating with cloud hyperscalers and OEMs.

I am hands-on with cloud AI platforms and a broad technical toolset, and I am passionate about secure, governed architectures that deliver measurable business value. I am flexible to travel across EMEA and comfortable supporting multi-time-zone strategic initiatives.
