About Me

PROFILE International executive leader with 15+ years of experience driving strategy, transformation, growth, and operational execution across complex, high-change business environments. I combine a top-tier consulting mindset—through partnerships with BCG and Deloitte—with a proven track record of in-house strategy execution, business incubation, and cross-functional leadership at multinationals such as HP and Stratasys. At HP, I played a key role within corporate business incubation environments, leading go-to-market and commercialization strategies for disruptive 3D printing solutions and emerging personalization ventures. I specialize in identifying long-term growth opportunities, shaping investment cases, supporting internal funding decisions for new ventures, and executing transformation programs that align with executive priorities and deliver shareholder value. Experienced in strategic planning, business model evolution, new venture scaling, and growth acceleration across B2B, SaaS, healthcare-related, and consumer-oriented sectors. Recognized for combining analytical rigor with executive storytelling, influencing senior stakeholders, and helping organizations move from opportunity identification to structured execution and measurable impact.
