Lead Digital Transformation

Photo_Profil_edited_edited_edited_edited

I help CEOs and their leadership teams navigate the brutal realities of hyper-competitive industries - where cost pressure is relentless, margins are razor-thin, and inefficiencies are fatal.

I have spent my career inside logistics, manufacturing, and high-tech operations -sectors where survival depends on operational excellence.

 

Today, I lead finance transformation for a global group, designing and implementing automation roadmaps that reduce overheads, accelerate reporting, and free up capacity to reinvest where it matters.

​

What sets me apart is not just my technical fluency in data and digital, but my ability to translate it into business performance:

  • Identifying hidden inefficiencies that bleed competitiveness.

  • Turning fragmented data flows into fast, reliable decision-making.

  • Building lean, automated functions that scale with the business.

​

I act as a sparring partner for CEOs, CFOs, and Chief Transformation Officers who know they must do more than cut costs: they must redeploy resources from yesterday’s inefficiencies to tomorrow’s competitive edge.

​

But who am I really?
