As the Managing Director & CEO of Nova Techset, I bring over 25 years of international leadership experience spanning publishing, technology-driven startups, banking, real estate, and B2B solutions. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of building and leading global teams, scaling businesses, and driving transformational change. At Nova Techset, I am proud to lead our journey as a pioneering hub for AI-powered publishing, workflow automation, and seamless digital content supply chains. My path has been shaped by hands-on experience—from launching successful ventures to expanding subsidiaries for global banks and developing tech-enabled transaction platforms for complex industries. What truly drives me is a people-first philosophy rooted in integrity, market insight, and operational discipline. I’m always eager to connect with like-minded professionals and explore new opportunities to innovate, collaborate, and create meaningful impact. I am passionate about merging business strategy with cutting-edge technology and cultivating strong client partnerships. My goal is to bridge tradition and innovation, aligning Nova Techset’s mission with the fast-evolving needs of publishers and research organisations worldwide. Committed to ethical leadership and continuous learning, I nurture a culture where creativity thrives alongside accountability. In my latest venture as Founder of ReviewerOne, I’m focused on transforming the global peer review landscape—empowering researchers, journals, and institutions through transparent, efficient, and recognition-driven publishing workflows. This initiative continues my broader mission to modernise the research infrastructure using AI, automation, and collaboration technologies.
