I build. I advise. I think in systems. After years leading digital transformation at scale — Accenture, BP, Lidl — I made a deliberate choice: trade platform dependency for structural independence. My focus is at the intersection of AI systems, product strategy, and venture thinking. I work with operators and founders who want to move fast without losing control — of their data, their stack, their direction.
