What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading global delivery, P&L and transformation programs where I can drive operational excellence, revenue growth, team development and scalable cloud/cyber solutions in client-focused, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a strategic delivery and operations leader with 30 years of IT consulting experience across delivery, operations, sales and program management. I have led large-scale IT transformations, cloud migrations, cyber security initiatives and post-merger integrations across Europe, UK, USA and Asia, consistently driving revenue and margin expansion.

As a P&L and program leader, I have accelerated growth for multi-million-dollar accounts, secured and renewed major outsourcing contracts, and delivered sustained operating margin improvements through pricing, cost optimization and productivity measures. I build high-performance teams, establish governance and reporting frameworks, and implement scalable delivery models that meet regulatory and client requirements.

I am committed to operational excellence, talent development and client-centric delivery, with a track record of turning around underperforming accounts, expanding international footprints, and advancing adoption of next-generation technologies including AI and cloud.
