Profile

Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) and AI systems architect, I connect product vision and technical execution. I unite Product & Tech teams around a clear direction, structure their work and create the conditions for engagement, autonomy and skills development. Working directly with leadership, I turn business and product goals into a roadmap, architecture decisions and reliable execution, including in demanding environments such as connected healthcare. My approach combines developer management, governance, quality, security and hands-on practice.

Set the direction, build cohesion and enable the team to move forward together.
