Summary
A strategic business leader who builds and scales technology ventures by connecting corporate strategy, product innovation, and commercial execution. With proven experience transforming concepts into thriving businesses, I successfully grew PwC's AI Practice from initial concept to a $10M ARR operation.
Having developed expertise in strategic leadership roles, I am now pursuing a deliberate transition to positions with comprehensive P&L - Group and Business responsibility in a senior leadership position. I bring particular value to organizations seeking a leader with business-building skills who can provide strategic direction, develop product roadmaps, and directly impact business growth and valuation.
