About

Engineering and Project Delivery Leader with 20+ years of international experience delivering complex EPC, EPCM, mission-critical, hyperscale data center, MEP-intensive and large-scale construction projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Currently leading overseas technical operations and digital delivery activities supporting major multidisciplinary developments, including hyperscale data centers, mission-critical infrastructure and large-scale construction programs. Scope includes engineering management, design coordination, BIM and digital implementation, procurement support, planning integration, project controls, commissioning readiness, construction execution and handover. My strength is connecting engineering, construction, commercial priorities and operational readiness in fast-track environments where coordination, risk control, schedule performance and execution discipline are critical. I use digital delivery as a performance enabler: BIM, model-based coordination, digital workflows, project controls and data-driven decision-making to improve constructability, reduce interface risks, support planning, strengthen cost control and accelerate decisions. My background combines hands-on engineering expertise with executive business education, allowing me to align technical decisions with project performance, organizational objectives and long-term asset value.
