About me

Turning complexity into meaningful progress.

I am a business leader with a strong foundation in Business Management and technical training in Computer Science Engineering, enabling me to lead data-driven transformation, improve performance, and redesign processes at scale.

My experience ranges from scaling national operations (35→60 POS in 12 months) with full P&L ownership to leading a team of 20+ Business Analysts supporting strategic decision-making for the Engineering Function at Airbus.

I am passionate about building organizations that grow sustainably, operate efficiently, and empower people — and I am developing my career toward future senior leadership roles in high-growth or transformational environments.
