What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead performance governance and PMO delivery—building measurable KPI systems, strengthening operational control, and reducing financial deviation through contractual/commercial risk management and exec-ready reporting in multi-stakeholder holding environments.

I am a senior executive with 18+ years of experience on the owner’s side across civil, industrial, commercial, and business projects, focused on performance governance, PMO structures, and value chain optimization in multi-stakeholder environments.

My career centers on converting complex, execution-heavy environments into measurable, controllable systems—establishing PMO frameworks, designing cross-unit KPIs, managing contractual and commercial risk, and supporting executive and board-level decision-making under pressure.

I focus on reducing financial deviation, strengthening operational control, and ensuring predictable delivery across industrial, commercial, and holding-level structures. I have also founded and led two independent businesses from the ground up, which sharpened a strategic ownership mindset rather than a purely operational one.

With a Mechanical Engineering background and direct exposure to contractual and legal environments, I bridge technical execution, cost discipline, and strategic decision-making—moving fluently between engineering, financial, and governance layers.
