What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining product ownership and finance oversight in payments or loyalty, with cross-functional teams, strategic partnerships, and measurable impact.

I am a product and finance leader with 13+ years' experience in payments, card issuing, loyalty programs, and strategic partnerships, combining product ownership with finance management to drive revenue and operational improvements. I have managed large CTO portfolios and led cross-functional integrations, delivering measurable uplifts in adoption, transaction value, and customer retention.

I excel at backlog prioritization, stakeholder management, SAP FI & ARIBA financial processes, and agile delivery (SAFe/POPM). My work has generated multimillion-euro impacts through product launches, partner integrations, and payment optimizations while maintaining governance and control.
