What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global technology and business transformation, connecting strategy, portfolio governance, operating-model change, and measurable financial outcomes with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

At Ericsson, I own the strategic transformation roadmap for Network Services, shaping future operating models, technology enablement, global deployment, investment tracking, and value realization.

I’ve led automation, analytics, reporting, and managed-services transformations across Europe, aligning senior stakeholders and cross-border teams around priorities, governance, and operational results.

Earlier, I delivered telecom integration, rollout, transition, and support programs for customers including Turkcell, Avea, Superonline, Liberty Global, MBNL UK, TCDD, and Istanbul Metro—including projects exceeding $80M and software upgrades adopted as Ericsson global best practice.
