What I'm looking for

I seek senior IT leadership roles in retail or distribution where I can drive systems integration, digital transformation, and resilient operations while enabling measurable business impact.

I am an experienced IT Director with a long career driving technology strategy, systems integration, and process reengineering for retail groups. I led major projects including ERP design, international branch ICT rollouts, and business continuity planning.

Throughout my career I delivered measurable results: cost reductions, staff reorganization, and significant inventory optimization through machine learning, including a 70% reduction in excess stock for N.O.S. products.

I successfully managed integrations during acquisitions and international expansions (China, Poland, Bangladesh), implemented retail transformations (Shopify online shop), and extended core systems to mobile and API-driven landscapes.

I am pragmatic, results-oriented, and focused on aligning IT with business goals to enable growth, resilience, and operational efficiency.
