About

I build and scale engineering organizations that deliver real business impact utilizing transformative initiatives. Over 26 years, I have led global teams of up to 2,200 engineers across AI, Cloud, and Digital platforms, driving outcomes like $50M+ transformations, $1.2M in annual savings, and 3X revenue growth. From modernizing Maersk’s legacy systems to scaling EPAM’s & HID's engineering practice by 250+ people in a year, my focus has always been to align technology with business priorities while building high-performance teams. My experience spans launching startups, holding a US patent in IoT, and leading enterprise transformations in industries like supply chain, eCommerce, and identity management. I thrive in complex environments, whether architecting cloud-native platforms, driving AI-based automation, or expanding global engineering hubs. At every stage, I prioritize clarity, speed, and building repeatable frameworks that enable scale. I enjoy solving tough problems with a mix of strategy, hands-on technology insight, and a belief in growing talent from within. I’ve been the person companies call when things get stuck or need rapid scaling. Now, I’m excited by opportunities where product, engineering, business and AI need to come together to deliver not just solutions, but competitive advantage.
