What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that offers opportunities for professional growth, a positive company culture, and challenging responsibilities. I am particularly interested in roles that involve leading digital transformation initiatives, managing IT service delivery, and driving strategic change.

I am a seasoned IT leader with over 17 years of experience in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Throughout my career, I have managed diverse areas of IT service delivery, governance, business technology, strategy development and execution, digitalization, infrastructure management, integration, and change management. I have successfully led large-scale projects involving digital transformation, upgrades, deployment, and migration of business-critical core skills implementations.

I excel in gathering and understanding client requirements and translating them into functional specifications and suitable solutions. I have a proven track record of leading the development and implementation of solution roadmaps, managing client and stakeholder relationships, and ensuring successful introductions across organizations. I am skilled in change management, risk management, and establishing and maintaining processes to manage scope over the project lifecycle.

Some of my notable accomplishments include optimizing AWS server costs, introducing digital tools to reduce finance costs, proposing IT initiatives to decrease carbon footprint, and deploying new functionalities to streamline ERP processes. I have expertise in digital transformation strategy, project management, CXO level/stakeholder engagement, and team leadership.
