What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my management skills and passion for technology, ideally in a dynamic environment that values innovation and teamwork.

I am a dedicated and results-driven senior manager with a successful track record in achieving profitable business growth through effective sales and marketing strategies. My experience spans various ICT fields, with a particular passion for winemaking and managing wine estates. I excel in interpersonal communication and negotiation, fostering mutually beneficial relationships both internally and externally.

Currently, I am the Owner and Managing Director of Valken Digital Solutions, where I focus on developing innovative solutions with an emphasis on AI integration. My previous role as General Manager at Bramon Wine Estate involved overseeing a team of 22, managing restaurant operations, and implementing marketing strategies for our wine range. I thrive on motivating teams and ensuring optimal performance in their respective areas.

With a solid foundation in project management and software development, I have successfully led initiatives across various sectors, including e-learning and business performance improvement. My commitment to continuous learning and professional development drives me to seek new challenges that align with my passion for technology and winemaking.
