What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that offers a collaborative and innovative company culture, challenging responsibilities, and opportunities for career growth. I thrive in dynamic and fast-paced environments where I can leverage my leadership and technical skills to drive business success.

I am an accomplished and results-driven Engineering leader with over 19 years of experience in senior leadership roles. I have a proven track record of successfully overseeing the development and delivery of complex software solutions, driving innovation, and aligning technology initiatives with corporate objectives. I am a strategic visionary with a forward-looking and adaptive approach to software engineering, emphasizing innovation, strategy, and digital transformation. I am proficient in implementing agile methodologies, enhancing team efficiency, and reducing time-to-market for software projects. I am skilled in project management, overseeing large-scale software projects from conception to delivery, and ensuring alignment with organizational goals. I prioritize mentorship, professional development, and continuous learning to nurture talent and enhance team capabilities.

In my most recent role as a Tech Senior Engineering Manager at Sixt, I managed and mentored a diverse team of Engineering Managers and architects, providing guidance, support, and professional development opportunities. I developed and executed a comprehensive engineering strategy that supported the overarching business goals of the fulfillment division, generating $1 billion in revenue. I maintained a high CSAT score of 95% or above, reflecting high levels of customer satisfaction with product quality and performance. I also created and managed the technology roadmap, collaborated with C-level executives and other departments to understand and prioritize technology requirements, and fostered a DevOps culture to improve deployment efficiency. Additionally, I managed the software engineering budget and worked closely with HR to recruit, train, and retain top talent within the engineering teams.

As a VP of Engineering at Thoughtbees, I was responsible for overseeing the design, development, delivery, and support of multiple SaaS and Mobile applications. I provided overall strategy and technology direction for the development of applications and communication infrastructure supporting the company's solutions. I acted as the client's primary contact for technical matters and led and enhanced agile methodology for the design, development, test, and release of products and features. I recruited, managed, and continuously developed a team of technology professionals.
