What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can align IT strategy and engineering delivery with business KPIs, drive cloud and AI-enabled transformation, and build high-performing, people-first engineering teams.

I am a director-level engineering and IT leader with extensive experience building, governing, and scaling distributed software organizations across Europe.

I specialize in enterprise software delivery, P&L ownership, and leading organizations in regulated and mission-critical environments, with a strong focus on delivery predictability, cost efficiency, and long-term operational stability.

In recent roles, I led engineering delivery for large-scale process automation and network information platforms within the energy and industrial domain, aligning engineering execution with executive business priorities and long-term portfolio direction.

My leadership style is people-first but outcome-driven. I build high-trust, remote-first environments that enable autonomous teams to deliver sustainably, even during periods of organizational change or market pressure.

I work closely with B-level and executive stakeholders on strategy, investment decisions, and portfolio evolution.

Based in Central Europe (CET/CEST).
Open to Director of Engineering / Head of IT / VP of Software Engineering roles (EU, remote or hybrid).

Certifications: PRINCE2 Foundation | Certified Agile Leadership (CAL)
Languages: English (C2), Spanish (B2), German (A2), Czech (Native)
