I work at the intersection of enterprise technology, AI adoption, and organizational transformation. At Microsoft, I help organizations move from strategic ambition to scalable execution across cloud, data, and AI.

More

My work often sits where technology decisions become organizational decisions — involving operating models, governance, stakeholder alignment, investment priorities, and long-term adoption. Over the years, I’ve worked across engineering, delivery, pre-sales, strategy, and transformation roles. That combination gives me a practical understanding of how organizations evaluate change, where momentum slows down, and what it takes to move initiatives from experimentation to operational reality. I’m particularly interested in: • Enterprise AI adoption and transformation • Scalable operating and adoption models • Technology strategy in complex environments • The intersection of AI, product, and organizational change • Turning emerging technology into sustainable organizational value Alongside my enterprise work, I mentor startups and founders on navigating the transition from early traction to enterprise adoption — helping them refine positioning, challenge scaling assumptions, and better understand the realities of complex European environments where technology alone is rarely enough to drive change. Open to selected advisory conversations and ecosystem collaborations.
