Salvatore Di Salvo
@salvatoredisalvo
Business operations and transformation professional connecting process improvement with digital product delivery at Cardano Foundation.
What I'm looking for
At Bahrami Group Pty Ltd., I helped establish and operate the Sydney office, then coordinated the delivery of a bespoke system to replace paper- and spreadsheet-based job tracking. I mapped workflows and requirements, sourced an external developer, and helped colleagues adopt the new system.
At Cardano Foundation and Veridian, I contributed to the evolution and delivery of a digital identity wallet, including work supporting the UNDP Tadamon pilot. I’m interested in roles where I can improve business operations, strengthen the systems teams rely on, and help people adopt new ways of working; I’ve passed the APMG Change Management Foundation exam and am studying for the BCS Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis.
