What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for strategic leadership in automotive technology.

With over 20 years of extensive experience in Electrical/Electronic architecture and high computing solutions, I have established myself as a passionate leader in the automotive industry.

My strategic oversight has enabled the creation of innovative solutions that align with future automotive technology trends, driving multi-million dollar revenue growth.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed large-scale projects and programs across various domains, including eMobility and Powertrain systems.
