I have worked in a mixture of start-up and “big corporate” environments, from transforming a major US technology provider’s international business and operating model to implementing delicate regulatory compliance programs. My strengths lie in collaborating with stakeholders in complex business ecosystems and in creatively designing new solutions to difficult problems. I am passionate about exploring the tender interaction between technology and business models.
