About

With 8+ years of experience, I have built my career from the ground up, starting with hands-on program implementation and evolving into leading multi-country AI and digital transformation initiatives across diverse ecosystems. My work spans execution strategy, program planning, and governance across both technical and non-technical domains. I have worked closely with stakeholders across government, institutions, and global organizations, often in complex environments that require aligning multiple moving parts and driving outcomes at scale. A significant part of my experience has been in translating AI and emerging technology concepts into practical, scalable implementations—bridging the gap between technical capabilities and real-world adoption. This has involved navigating cross-functional dynamics, regulatory contexts, and ecosystem-level challenges. What defines my approach is the ability to bring structure to ambiguity—balancing strategic thinking with execution, and ensuring that ideas translate into meaningful, sustainable outcomes.
