What I'm looking for

I am seeking leadership roles where I can drive enterprise cloud transformations, bridge business and technology, mentor teams, and deliver measurable cost and operational improvements.

I am a Senior IT Business Analyst with 10+ years delivering enterprise digital transformation, cloud migrations, and requirements engineering for large organisations. I specialize in translating complex business needs into scalable technical solutions and governance frameworks.

At Volkswagen Group I led SAP S/4HANA gap analysis and requirements for cross-functional squads, streamlined user story mapping for 30+ use cases, and modelled API integrations to ensure secure data flow between SAP and AWS.

Previously I managed a €2.8M cloud and infrastructure research portfolio at Czech Technical University, accelerating time-to-market through industry partnerships and mentoring researchers into senior technical roles. I also led a $8M+ AWS migration for a Saudi government ministry, achieving 99.99% availability and 35% annual cost reductions.

I combine strong stakeholder engagement, process optimization, and technical architecture skills (AWS, SAP, Kubernetes) to deliver measurable impact—reduced backlog refinement time, faster recovery, lower costs, and high stakeholder satisfaction.
