Trusted by Leaders Driving Change

I work with organizations that are transforming how they operate, compete, and make decisions through data and technology.
My clients are not defined by size or sector — they are united by a shared need: clarity, capability, and speed in transformation.

As a CDO, CTO, and CIO transition manager, I collaborate directly with executive teams to align technology, data, and business priorities.
Each engagement is built on trust, delivery, and measurable impact.

Who I Work With

Enterprise & Global Groups

Large organizations modernizing legacy systems, rationalizing data platforms, or building new digital capabilities.
I help structure transformation programs, select the right partners, and create governance models that scale globally.

Mid-Sized Companies in Acceleration

Growing companies ready to industrialize their data, cloud, and digital functions.
I design the structure, teams, and technology roadmap that support sustainable expansion.

Private Equity & Investment Firms

Investors seeking operational and data transparency across their portfolio.
I support post-merger integration, digital due diligence, and data platform setup to unlock performance and control.

Consulting & Service Partners

I occasionally support consulting firms and integrators that require temporary CDO/CTO leadership for strategic engagements or delivery turnarounds.

Industries

Experience across a wide range of sectors:
Retail, Luxury, Finance, Banking, Insurance, Industry, Gaming, Hospitality, Food & Beverage (F&B), Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, Energy, Software, Legal, and Supply Chain.

This cross-sector expertise allows me to transfer best practices, benchmark performance, and accelerate transformation with proven models.

Engagement Philosophy

Every engagement is hands-on, time-bound, and outcome-driven.
I operate inside the organization’s rhythm — not alongside it — ensuring decisions are grounded in operational reality.

I typically intervene when:

  • Strategy needs execution structure
  • Teams need direction or alignment
  • Transformation requires interim leadership
  • Technology investment demands clarity and ROI

The focus is always the same: stabilize, accelerate, and transfer capability.

Collaboration Approach

  1. Assessment — understand objectives, constraints, and existing assets
  2. Structuring — define governance, priorities, and delivery model
  3. Execution — lead or support the transformation program
  4. Transition — ensure handover, autonomy, and continuity

I leave organizations stronger, not dependent.

Results

  • Faster alignment between business and technology
  • Sustainable governance and data ownership
  • High-performing internal teams replacing external dependency
  • Clear visibility on cost, delivery, and performance

Transformation only succeeds when leadership, structure, and capability are aligned — that’s where I focus.

Consulting Expertise

Transforming Organizations Through Practical Cloud, Data, and AI Consulting That Puts People at the Core of Change

My consulting work is built on a simple principle: technology only matters when it changes how people work. Over the years, I’ve helped global organizations build or rebuild their cloud, data, and AI foundations to serve business, not the other way around. I’ve designed and led programs that broke down silos between IT and business, replacing heavy processes with Experience-Based Acceleration and Working Backward methodologies. I specialize in data governance modernization, landing zone architecture, and AI-driven product strategies, all built to scale securely and sustainably.
