Profile
Who I am

Strategy translated into measurable results.

I lead organizations through growth, restructuring and digital transformation, improving profitability, governance, service quality and information security.

As CEO of a SaaS company serving public transport authorities, I have full P&L responsibility. Under my tenure revenue has grown roughly 85%, the team has doubled and the operating model has been rebuilt. At the same time, customer satisfaction, employee engagement and information security maturity have all risen.

Previously CIO and CDO in major public-sector organizations. I have built new ICT organizations, led nationwide digital services and delivered programs with many parties involved: mission-critical systems, supplier networks and board-level governance.
