I am mostly a Program Manager, although I'm volunteering as a Head of Data Science in a start-up.

I have several different interests and that is why I worked in different industries (health, insurance, consultancy, investment banking, payments, etc) and in different roles, and studied different academic subjects (Physics, Computing, Business, Marketing, Innovation).

So, I have been "everything" in IT, from Programmer to Head of Infrastructure and Operations (IT Manager), from Business Analyst to IT Director, from Solutions Architect to Programme Manager, from Head of Development to Innovation Architect.

To learn here and apply there: my previous line manager used to write in my annual reviews that I was the one that wanted the projects or programmes that nobody else wanted – exactly because that’s how I could learn more.
