What I'm looking for

I am looking for IT, project management, or transformation roles where I can lead digital modernization, drive cost optimization, implement resilient infrastructure, and scale innovation across multi-company environments.

I am a senior IT leader with 15+ years of experience delivering large-scale digital transformations, IT modernization, and multi-company operations across finance, manufacturing, insurance, media, and retail.

I have led infrastructure, IT/OT, and business-process modernization for organizations of 150–3000 employees, implementing private 5G, enterprise virtualization, cloud migrations, and robotics to improve resilience and reduce costs.

My achievements include designing and executing technology transformations across 10+ companies, pioneering all‑wireless enterprise architectures, drone surveillance, Print Outsourcing that cut costs, and region-first Azure cloud migrations and mobile app launches.

I seek roles in IT, Project Management, or Transformation where I can deliver innovation, strategic impact, and sustainable growth while optimizing costs and strengthening business continuity.
