A consultant who gets things done

With over 15 years in project management, I've built my career on successfully leading and executing complex initiatives across financial services and software — for organisations like Alpha Bank, BCR (Erste Group), FLOWX.AI, Tremend (Publicis Sapient), and Arval BNP Paribas.

I work as an independent consultant alongside my leadership role, taking on select engagements where I can make a genuine difference — particularly in banking, fintech, and enterprise transformation contexts. I'm known for being proactive, dedicated, and quick to adapt to new environments and responsibilities.

My approach bridges strategy and execution: I'm equally comfortable working at board level and getting into the weeds with delivery teams.

Proactive and deadline-driven — always
Adaptable across dynamic, complex environments
Focused on long-term client success, not just delivery
Comfortable with both strategy and hands-on execution
