About

I am a PMP-certified Program and Project Leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering complex, global programs within the Mechanical Industry and the IT/Telecom sector. Throughout my career, I have led globally distributed teams across R&D, customer programs, product transfers, and large-scale transformation initiatives. My experience includes payment microservices, cloud-based solutions, Kubernetes environments, Agile transformations, and cross-border product transfer programs. I have full accountability for delivery, budget, risk management, and executive reporting, with a strong track record of delivering results in technically complex and multicultural environments. Having lived and worked in Africa and Asia for extended periods, I bring strong intercultural leadership skills and experience managing offshore/onshore collaboration. I combine structured execution with engaged leadership – building strong teams, creating clarity in complexity, and ensuring delivery with quality and business impact.
