Profi le

I apply technology to business goals so a company can scale, streamline and offer new products. I use digital and social media to transfer knowledge and engage. And I bring empowerment and process to teams for creative and responsible implementation. I gained my product development skills delivering enterprise solutions in financial services, telco, pharma, advertising, cosmetics, automotive, consumer electronics, life sciences and government. I’ve led the development of mobile & web-based products for entertainment, sales & marketing, e- learning, e-commerce, enterprise administration, CRM, reporting and document management. I have a strong background in creative and software team management and strategic product development with hands-on experience in the design and development of content, software, digital media and workflow. I’ve received awards for software and interactive media development. I thrive in creative environments where innovation and best practices are combined to create engaging, effective products. I’m entrepreneurial and inventive, a passionate critical thinker with a keen eye on the bottom line.
