What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles focused on operational excellence, business transformation, AI-assisted analysis, and workflow automation, where I can bridge business, technology, and operations to improve execution, governance, and decision-making.

I’m a Senior Business Analyst with experience leading operational and process improvement initiatives across enterprise Cloud and IT environments. My work sits between business, technology, and operations—helping teams structure complex problems, improve workflows, align stakeholders, and deliver scalable operational solutions.

At Vodafone Portugal, I support the lifecycle of cloud and IT services, including operational process design, governance enablement, KPI visibility, testing coordination, and cross-functional collaboration across multiple teams. I work closely with both business and technical stakeholders to improve service readiness, operational efficiency, and execution quality.

Over the last few years, I’ve increasingly focused on AI-assisted analysis, workflow automation, and operational enablement—using AI tools and automation thinking to improve documentation quality, reduce manual effort, structure requirements, and support better decision-making.

Earlier in my career, I worked in operational governance and finance control environments at BNP Paribas, supporting transversal initiatives, reporting processes, and operational coordination.

My current professional focus is practical AI-assisted operations, process optimization, workflow orchestration, and business transformation in complex service environments.
