About

Passionate about creating strategic value for business For over 25 years, I’ve helmed global capability centers (GCCs) at some of the world’s most respected organisations, adding strategic business value to drive growth. Leading large teams in matrixed environments across international locations has given me the unique opportunity to run the entire spectrum of operations. As the Global Head of Convatec Business Services, I lead a next-generation shared services and business solutions function designed not just to support, but to accelerate. From enhancing agility through automation to streamlining enterprise-wide collaboration, our team is focused on delivering business outcomes that power Convatec’s global ambitions. With operations in Lisbon, Bogotá, and Kuala Lumpur, we lay a strong emphasis on consistency, service excellence, and digital-first execution. I serve on the Global Advisory Board of the Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON), where I contribute to the evolving role of global business services in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. Previously, I was Group Head of Global Enterprise Services at dsm-firmenich, where I led the creation and rollout of an integrated, global operations model. This involved harmonising processes, digitising services, and enabling end-to-end accountability across business functions. With teams operating in Brazil, New Jersey, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, China and India, I helped strengthen the backbone of the organisation combining technology, talent and teamwork. Earlier in my career, I worked with McKinsey & Company, Lehman Brothers, Reuters, Agilent Technologies, Crompton Greeves and ITI (Indian Telephone Industries).
