I'm a product, digital and transformation executive with 20+ years of experience, available for interim and fractional roles.
What I'm looking for
I am a product, digital and transformation executive with 20+ years of experience, including 15 in senior and advisory roles. I work with CEOs, boards, investors and leadership teams on product launches, stalled initiatives and transformation across brands and countries.
I turn complex business needs into product direction and business architecture, then work with teams to carry those decisions through to delivery. My responsibilities include product portfolios, operating models, decision rights and governance. My experience spans 30+ strategic programmes in contexts ranging from EUR 15M to EUR 500M+, including six years at EY and assignments with Opella, Kantar XTEL, Celio and Stellantis. I have extensive experience in regulated financial services.
At Opella, I led four product designers within an ecosystem of more than ten brands and brought agency-run production in-house, reducing production lead times by 40%. At Celio, I launched Camaïeu e-commerce in six months through platform reuse and established a reusable design system that saved EUR 400K versus agency outsourcing. At Kantar XTEL, I structured product direction across five countries and helped bring a platform fragmented by acquisitions into a coherent product and delivery model.
Oksydian is my independent executive practice. I also co-founded Architekt, where I lead product strategy, business architecture and delivery. My current work includes applied AI products in healthcare, due diligence and agricultural intelligence. I use AI from domain research and product definition through implementation and validation, with human review and traceable decisions.
Based in Bangkok, I take on interim and fractional CPO, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Digital Officer mandates across APAC and internationally, including remote work. I also consider permanent product, digital and transformation leadership roles. I work in English and French.
