Innovation & Technology

True innovation blends emerging technologies, practical research insights, and human-centered design. By turning new ideas into functional prototypes and digital platforms, I help organizations translate complex challenges into growth opportunities. This hands-on, future-focused approach ensures that each solution is both impactful and ready to scale.

Strategy & Business

Effective strategy comes from seeing the world through multiple lenses. I draw on experience with both lean startups and global enterprises, using strategic frameworks, value proposition refinement, and business modeling to shape clear, actionable roadmaps. With this balanced perspective, organizations can adapt, differentiate, and thrive in changing markets.

Operational Excellence

Operational excellence emerges when technology, lean principles, and on-the-ground experience converge. Having worked directly in global manufacturing settings, I integrate MES, ERP, and PLM systems to streamline production and build resilient operations. The result: robust, efficient processes that keep pace with evolving business demands.

A  little  about me.

From Fortune 500 boardrooms to scrappy startups to university lecture halls, I’ve spent my career exploring how people and businesses tackle challenges. Across 9 countries and 3 continents, I’ve played many roles—consultant, entrepreneur, manager, professor—but the constant has always been the same: a deep curiosity for solving problems that matter. The best ideas don’t just push boundaries; they change the way we think, work, and build the future.

I'm a happy father, wannabe boxer, pianist, photographer & much more. I'm grateful to do what I do everyday — to chase ideas, to build, to create, to shape. Big things, small things, things that matter. And, hopefully, to leave the world a little bolder, a little more full of possibility.
