From Cross-Vertical Consulting to Technical Mastery
I started in enterprise consulting deliberately: to learn fast in high-complexity, greenfield programs across finance, insurance, media, marketing services, and public sector contexts. Those years built my broad technical foundation and shaped my operating discipline: solve root causes, design for scale, and make production-grade decisions that remain robust over time.
Vice CTO: Modernization at Infrastructure and Application Level
As Deputy CTO at ContactLab, I led modernization across infrastructure and applications: platform migration from BSD/FreeBSD to RHEL on VMware, and application evolution from scripting-heavy stacks to Java Enterprise. This phase deepened my specialization in scalable Java systems, service integration, and performance-driven architecture decisions.
Red Hat EMEA: Application Modernization and Market Execution
At Red Hat, I worked across EMEA with enterprise customers, ISVs, and system integrators to activate modernization programs through structured phases: discovery, design, proof of value, and scale. I contributed to adoption journeys around OpenShift and Quarkus while supporting partner-led execution in complex, high-stakes environments.
Business and Technology Impact Today
Today, my focus is helping organizations align business ambition with execution reality: stronger GTM operating models, sharper operating decisions, and transformation programs tied to measurable outcomes. I bring a rare combination of hands-on engineering depth, ecosystem growth leadership, and business-and-technology advisory experience.
Selected engagements, industries, and ecosystem
I have operated across highly regulated and high-complexity environments, supporting enterprise and institutional programs from architecture and modernization to GTM and ecosystem execution.
