About

Strategic Advisor & Change Facilitator in strategic business Transformation programs, Technology Development programs and Business Start-ups in the public-private sector. I take great pride in past achievements in which significant performance improvements have been reached by applying my deep knowledge of multiple disciplines required - to solve transformation puzzles, - to develop business strategies/plans, - to carry out feasibility studies, - to implement transitions, - to mobilize power to change, - to search creative and innovative change agents and agile executives. I am a sparring partner skilled in Business Operations, Finance, HRM, Legal, Facilities & ICT, mostly in an environment with leading edge technologies. I can boast of guiding and implementing transitions at corporate and business level, especially in a complex stakeholder environment, conflicts of interest and with large financial, managerial and political risks. My ability to observe, analyze and improve human talent with a warm consideration of individual capabilities and ambitions has proven to be of great value to organisations I have worked with. My change vision is: "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea"​ (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, French writer - '​ Le Petit Prince' - , poet, fighter and passionate pilot).
