With over 15 years of experience in technology, energy and data-driven organizations, I help companies accelerate. As a CEO, CTO or strategic advisor, I have led organizations through growth, carve-outs and international expansion. My strength lies in combining technical depth with operational execution and people-focused leadership.
I believe that successful execution starts with clear structure, clear goals and the proper organization of people and resources. That's what I build on.
