Working independently with organisations and senior leaders on digital transformation strategy, technology roadmaps, and organisational change. Applying 15+ years of international IT leadership to help companies navigate complexity - from platform decisions to people-first adoption. Highlights: - Developed the People F.I.R.S.T. framework — a human-centred transformation methodology replacing top-down implementation with co-creation (Listen–Co-Create–Develop–Adapt–Sustain) - Advising IT leaders and leadership teams on digital strategy, transformation roadmaps, and build vs. buy decisions - Evaluating and applying AI tools across consulting practice - developing a grounded point of view on responsible AI adoption and governance - Supporting senior professionals navigating technology leadership transitions

In my role as Senior IT Manager, I lead the integration of Biolchim Group, coordinating a diverse team to ensure a smooth transition during leadership changes and providing ongoing support. During the Biolchim integration Phase 2, I oversaw the operational aspects and deployment of end-user devices while fostering strong partnerships with vendors and stakeholders to drive project goals. I designed a structured cutover plan that included comprehensive end-user training, which facilitated seamless technology adoption. Managing a $1.6M CAPEX budget, I aligned resource allocation with our strategic objectives. My accomplishments include enhancing team collaboration, implementing a VDI solution that reduces downtime, increasing customer satisfaction based on positive survey feedback, and streamlining operations to reduce service complaints, paving the way for continued improvement initiatives.

After a period of intense organizational change and team leadership responsibilities, I chose to take a personal sabbatical to rest, reflect, and realign before stepping into a new professional chapter. During this time, I: - Supported my family through a challenging period, including caring for my father during his illness - Continued mentoring peers and explored new ways of working with energy, people, and purpose - Took time to reflect on my professional journey and reconnect with what drives me This pause was a conscious investment — not a break from growth, but a way to return with greater clarity, purpose, and renewed energy.

During my tenure as a Finance Manager at General Electric, I led the cost control efforts for a substantial $52 million commercial base cost in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands. My role involved coordinating the financial planning cycle and conducting thorough analyses of business margins, which enabled me to provide strategic insights that significantly enhanced profitability. By closely collaborating with the CFO and Salesforce, I ensured that our financial strategies were aligned with the overall business objectives, ultimately driving improved financial performance and operational efficiency.

As a Senior Consultant at Deloitte, I led a team to drive new business growth, resulting in a $4M revenue increase in just 6 months. I specialized in ERP system monitoring, project management, and data conversions, ensuring efficient operations and client satisfaction. Developed new business from 0 to $4M in 6 months. Managed multiple projects for various clients. Successfully re-implemented ERP systems.
