About

Curiosity, collaboration, and impact have shaped my career across the energy sector for over two decades. Today at Microsoft, I lead across Europe, the Middle East and Africa as part of the Energy & Resources industry team. My team's focus is on how utilities, oil & gas, and mining companies operate and transform. Together with customers and partners, we explore how data, AI, and digital platforms can help address very tangible challenges around resilience, performance and decarbonization. I love working at the point where ideas meet reality—setting bold and clear ambitions, cutting through complexity to make progress, and getting things done. I am a strong believer in learning every day—staying curious, adapting as you go, and being willing to rethink along the way.
