About

Change is not something I adapt to — it’s something I actively pursue. With a foundation in IT, Marketing and Account Management, I began my career in software before stepping into aviation and aerospace, where I spent over 12 years leading operations in some of the most challenging environments globally. Managing remote sites, complex logistics, and diverse teams taught me one thing clearly: success is built on trust, clarity, and execution under pressure. Today, I’ve returned to the software world as Senior Account Executive at PTC, focusing on Aerospace & Defense, combining my love to offer real solutions to real problems and following the credo of lasting peace through strong deterrence. My mission: help organizations unlock the full potential of digital engineering — from Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to the Digital Thread — enabling them to reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in an increasingly demanding environment. What sets me apart is not just understanding technology, but understanding people — aligning stakeholders, building strong relationships, and turning strategy into tangible results that ends in a meaningful handshake between solution provider and solution seeker.
