I bring cross-border board experience, deep domain knowledge, and the ability to balance innovation with oversight. I’ve served on supervisory boards of major international telecommunication companies (e.g. T-Mobile Netherlands, publicly listed, Magyar Telekom Hungary, Makedonski Telekom, Northern Macedonia). My skills as Board Member employed there include: Corporate Governance, Risk Management, M&A, Business Strategy, Innovation Management, Regulatory Strategy, Investors Relations As entrepreneur I have built and led a digital health venture studio, bridging science, policy and business to unlock real-world impact.
