I'm a passionate entrepreneur who has spent the last decades diving deep into AI, customer engagement, and data-driven products, both personally and professionally. I'm fascinated by retail and the application of these technologies within it.

I believe in creating value for customers, partners, and stakeholders by leveraging cutting-edge technology, data science, and business acumen.
I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, having worked and lived across Europe, Asia, and South America, and being fluent in multiple languages.
In my free time I enjoy hikes, cooking, travelling and spending time with friends and family.
