Curriculum Vitae
The full record.
Building at the seam between technology and business since 2012 — from apprenticeship to Big Four manager. Scaled a compliance SaaS to 50+ enterprise clients (incl. Fortune 500); led the technology agenda for a 150-FTE division; cut deployment time 70% and compliance processing 60%. Pragmatic over visionary — close enough to architecture, data and security to make it ship.
Bring me in when—
- your regulated platform needs to scale past proof-of-concept — a cloud migration that has to land in Switzerland, or GenAI that regulators will actually sign off.
- your tech and business teams are talking past each other — someone who can read an architecture diagram and close an enterprise deal in the same conversation.
- you want transformation without theology — ruthless on outcomes (1,500+ hours saved annually, 70% faster deployment), honest about what can't ship in quarter one.
Experience
- Researching how Swiss and European enterprises evaluate, govern and scale disruptive technology — with a focus on digital sovereignty and regulated cloud delivery.
- Advisory and hands-on build work around GenAI adoption, data platforms and compliance-by-design.

- Led the technology and transformation agenda for a 150-FTE division — governance for automation, cloud and data; delivered 1,500+ annual hours saved and 20% cost/time reduction.
- Drove GenAI/LLM adoption with risk controls and compliance frameworks fit for regulated environments.
- Directed end-to-end digital product rollout: build-vs-buy analysis, third-party integrations, go-live.
- Managed cross-functional teams of up to 10 FTEs; owned ETL/ELT pipelines for new data products.
- Scaled compliance SaaS from product owner to commercial manager: 50+ enterprise clients incl. Fortune 500, deals to CHF 250k.
- Led strategic migration to containerised cloud (Azure-first) — 70% faster deployment without cutting compliance or security.
- Acted as Product Owner for nearshore teams (5–10 FTEs); coordinated the global PwC network for worldwide deployment and localisation.
