About

In my professional journey, I have taken on some of the most challenging and high-stakes roles in IT management and leadership. I thrive in environments where others might hesitate, taking on responsibilities like building an entire IT department from scratch for a global logistics company, or standardizing software development processes for a team of 350 people from over 23 countries. My approach is characterized by adaptability and a deep understanding of various methodologies such as Waterfall, Agile, and ITIL, which I blend to suit the unique demands of each project. I lead with strategic thinking and cross-functional team leadership, ensuring that even the most daunting tasks are completed successfully. Starting my career in technical roles, such as network and database administration, I developed a strong technical foundation that continues to inform my leadership style. This background allows me to engage deeply with my teams, understanding their challenges and helping them navigate complex projects more effectively. My experience spans various industries and roles, from serving as a Senior Agile Project Manager at Endava, where I led large-scale IT transformation projects, to holding senior leadership positions in organizations like Euroflorist, Roche, and British Council. My ability to manage diverse teams across multiple regions, coupled with my certification in SAFe Release Train Engineering and Agile coaching, positions me as a versatile and effective leader capable of driving significant organizational transformations.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
