What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading automation and AI programs in collaborative, growth-focused companies where I can drive digital transformation, mentor teams, and deliver measurable operational value.

I am a seasoned automation and digital transformation leader with over two decades of experience delivering AI-enabled business solutions and large-scale automation programs across industries.

I have led cross-functional and global delivery teams, defined project scopes, managed budgets, and driven agile execution to align digital initiatives with enterprise strategy.

My accomplishments include implementing RPA for finance operations at Siemens, integrating AI chatbots to improve service response efficiency, and improving project delivery timelines and predictability by 70%.

I hold certifications in PRINCE2 Agile, Certified Scrum Master, multiple Automation Anywhere credentials, and cloud and data science training, and I focus on building scalable, compliant, data-driven digital frameworks that produce measurable value.
