What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles driving innovation and digital transformation in growth-oriented, collaborative organizations where I can lead cross-border expansion, build strategic partnerships, and deliver measurable revenue and efficiency gains.

I am a strategic and innovative executive with 15+ years of experience translating technology into pragmatic, sustainable business solutions. I hold advanced training in business and technology and have led cross-functional teams through digital transformation.

As a regional leader I designed and implemented strategies that delivered a consolidated 35% annual revenue growth, managed budgets exceeding USD 5 million, reduced operating costs by 15%, increased project efficiency by 20%, and launched four new business lines generating a sales pipeline over USD 3 million while securing strategic alliances with leading technology partners.

I lead with a focus on measurable outcomes, operational efficiency, and collaboration between commercial and technical teams. I combine academic rigor with hands-on execution—holding doctoral and technical credentials plus certifications like PMP and specialized executive programs—to drive innovation, scale operations, and build sustainable growth.
