Summary

I am an Agile Delivery Manager and Senior Scrum Master with over 10 years of experience bridging technical engineering with strategic product delivery. Combining a Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering with specialized Project Management training, I bridge the gap between engineering execution, product strategy, and regulatory compliance.

Over the past decade, I have led cross-functional squads across financial services, telecom, and consumer tech:

  • At Zurich Insurance, I managed the multiple agile teams and the bi-weekly release train for a global platform serving 55,000+ employees across 7 language, later commercializing it into a product adopted by an external 23k+ employee enterprise.

  • At Telefónica, I coordinated the delivery of Aura, Telefónica’s conversational AI platform (150k+ MAU), aligning cross-border engineering teams across Germany, the UK, and LATAM.

  • At BQ and Bragi, I managed the end-to-end technical lifecycles across consumer hardware and software: managing manufacturing ramp-ups and rolling out firmware across to 4M+ devices worldwide.
