What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run client-facing delivery and portfolio governance for complex programs—pairing AI/ML production execution with clear KPI reporting, risk/escalation discipline, and measurable business outcomes.

I’m a delivery leader with 15+ years running multi-project portfolios for demanding internal and cross-border stakeholders. Most recently I led a 30-project digital transformation program at Nestlé, delivering on time and 6% under budget, and established the governance layer to keep executives aligned through weekly KPI reporting and quarterly HQ reviews.

At Severstal Tech Lab, I build and run production AI/Computer Vision quality systems and direct delivery governance across concurrent AI projects. I’ve owned delivery end to end—from data labeling and model training (YOLO, Python, PyTorch, OpenCV) to integration, deployment, and monitoring—while improving release velocity with Scrum, driving measurable defect-reduction, and supporting executive presales where initiatives were approved for funding.
