Building Expert Teams for Data, Cloud, and Digital Transformation

Technology success depends on people — the right ones, in the right structure, working with the right mandate.
I help organizations identify, structure, and attract expert talent in data, cloud, and digital transformation to ensure capability matches ambition.

As a Chief Data Officer and CTO, I’ve built, scaled, and reorganized multidisciplinary teams across large enterprises and transformation programs.
My focus: build lasting internal capability, not dependency on external providers.

Strategic Workforce Design

Before hiring, comes structure.
I define the target organization and operating model needed to support your strategy — clarifying where skills are missing, duplicated, or misplaced.

What I deliver:

  • Technology and data team organization design
  • Role definitions for cloud, data, and digital functions
  • Capability mapping and gap analysis
  • Transition roadmap from current to target state

Recruitment works when structure precedes staffing.

Building Data, Cloud, and AI Teams

I specialize in assembling high-performance teams across all layers of the data and technology ecosystem — from architecture to execution.

What I deliver:

  • Recruitment support for key roles: CDO, Head of Data, Head of Cloud, Data Engineer, Architect, Product Owner, Data Steward, AI Lead
  • Interim leadership to bridge or launch new functions
  • Definition of team missions, interfaces, and KPIs
  • Integration of data, IT, and digital teams around shared objectives

The goal: create expert, autonomous squads capable of delivering continuously.

Leadership and Specialist Recruitment

Modern transformations require hybrid leaders — technical enough to understand, strategic enough to decide.
I assist in identifying, assessing, and securing the right leadership and expert profiles.

What I deliver:

  • C-level and senior leadership sourcing for data, IT, and transformation roles
  • Candidate evaluation frameworks (technical, strategic, and behavioral)
  • Support for recruitment partner briefing and selection
  • Advisory on compensation, positioning, and reporting lines

Hiring is not about filling positions — it’s about building leadership capacity.

Capability Building and Retention

Attracting experts is one part of the challenge — keeping and developing them is another.
I help design the structures, learning paths, and incentives that sustain long-term engagement.

What I deliver:

  • Career path frameworks for technical and functional roles
  • Upskilling and enablement programs (AI, data, cloud)
  • Coaching for managers and tech leads
  • Team performance measurement and retention strategy

Retention starts with purpose and clarity, not perks.

Vendor-to-Team Transition

Many organizations rely heavily on vendors or consultants.
I help build internal capability to progressively reduce dependency and bring key skills in-house.

What I deliver:

  • Knowledge transfer frameworks from integrators to internal teams
  • Internalization strategy for key technical functions
  • Hybrid models balancing internal and external expertise
  • Governance to manage the transition phase

Building expert teams means owning your capability.

Engagement Models

  • Advisory: Organization design, capability mapping, and hiring strategy
  • Leadership Support: Recruitment and assessment for key roles
  • Interim Management: Acting CTO/CDO to design and structure the teams before hiring

Expertise

I’ve designed and built technology and data organizations for global groups in Retail, Luxury, Finance, Banking, Insurance, Industry, Gaming, Hospitality, F&B, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, Energy, Software, Legal, and Supply Chain.

My expertise spans organizational design, leadership recruitment, team enablement, and capability development — helping companies move from dependency to autonomy, and from projects to sustainable delivery.

Outcome

An expert, autonomous, and purpose-driven organization — built to operate modern data, AI, and cloud platforms with accountability, agility, and resilience.

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.
