Innovating at the Intersection of Engineering, Digital, and People.

​

True innovation isn't just about technology; it's born where engineering discipline, digital transformation, and human-centric leadership converge. My 24-year journey—from designing aero engines at GE Aviation to pioneering medical devices at Philips and leading digital transformation in the energy sector—is built on this belief.

​

With a Doctorate in Innovation Management and a GE Master Black Belt certification, my passion is to foster environments where teams thrive, processes are optimized, and complex challenges become opportunities for exceptional results.
