What I'm looking for

I’m drawn to work where technology meets execution, especially across automation, robotics, AI and new ways of working in global operations. I want to help move complex initiatives from concept to real-world value.

At Siemens Energy, I lead strategic technology initiatives for wind power service capabilities, taking automation, robotics and AI projects from early scoping through handover. I work with Engineering, R&D and Product Management to align technical feasibility with business goals.

As Senior Program Manager for Global Blade Services, I coordinated initiatives across service operations, engineering, supply chain and corporate strategy. I implemented a demand intake and prioritization platform that increased throughput by 35% and improved leadership reporting transparency.

Earlier at Siemens Gamesa, I led global manufacturing and industrialisation programs for new offshore blade platforms, guiding stage-gate progression from development toward industrial deployment readiness. I’m interested in the point where technology meets execution, turning complex initiatives into operational outcomes.
