As a data-driven strategist, I stay at the forefront of Big Data and analytics trends, with a strong foundation in statistics, predictive modeling, and advanced mathematical techniques. Most recently, I have focused on building data solutions in Azure, particularly with Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse, which provide a unified, scalable platform for managing structured (Data Warehouses, Data Marts) and unstructured/semi-structured data (Data Lakes). By harnessing these technologies, I deliver actionable insights that accelerate business transformation and support long-term strategic objectives.

As a board-certified CTO and author on data strategy, I bring a strong mix of deep AI/ML expertise and go-to-market experience. I’ve built and scaled SaaS solutions across sectors, advised startups and listed companies alike, and led cross-functional teams in Europe and Asia. I’m particularly excited by business’s vision to simplify and optimize B2B sales with AI, and I believe my profile aligns well with your scaling and international growth ambitions.
