I lead cross-functional automotive software delivery, improving visibility, risk management, and on-time execution.
What I'm looking for
At Stellantis, I lead technical delivery across Engineering, Software, Systems Architecture, and Management, coordinating 5+ workstreams and 60+ stakeholders across NA, EMEA, and LATAM. I built Power BI and RTC reporting solutions that reduced manual reporting time by approximately 80% and support an approximately 90% on-time delivery rate.
I've also managed engineering deliverables at Ford, connecting system requirements, validation, quality, and vehicle networks including CAN, CAN-FD, Ethernet, and LIN. My technical foundation in computer engineering and ongoing master's studies in project management helps me turn priorities into practical plans, resolve bottlenecks, and improve delivery performance.
