What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading international bids and business development for secure ID and document projects, where I can drive end-to-end tender wins, manage cross-functional teams, and build long-term government and partner relationships.

I am a computer engineer and seasoned international marketing and bids management leader specializing in end-to-end national ID, ePassport and secure-document turnkey projects. I combine technical software development and team leadership experience with strategic marketing, tender preparation and high-level government negotiations.

Across multiple senior roles I led international tender submissions, managed software teams, and handled projects and accounts with values up to $150M, winning major contracts in Europe, LATAM, Africa, Asia and the USA. I have run proactive lead generation, produced marketing materials, and represented companies at major international events.

I bring hands-on product and project management experience from real-time and on-line systems, document imaging and biometric ID domains, and I consult on business development and EU-funded R&D proposals. I am driven to deliver turnkey national programs and build strong government and partner relationships.
