About Me

The Technical PM Who Actually Understands the Tech

Most project managers manage timelines. I manage outcomes. With a Computer Science degree and 15+ years working hands-on with enterprise infrastructure — from Linux servers and Active Directory to Azure AD and Zero Trust architectures — I bring a rare combination of deep technical fluency and senior-level delivery leadership.

Over the past decade, I've led SaaS rollouts, cloud migrations, and IT transformation programs for some of Europe's most demanding organisations — including a major European stock exchange, a leading insurtech company, and a global financial technology provider. I've delivered 20+ major projects with a 95% on-time track record — because I don't just plan for risks, I engineer around them.

Now based in Dubai, I'm bringing that same rigour to the Gulf's fast-moving tech landscape. Whether you need someone to rescue a stalled project, stand up a PMO, or lead a complex cloud migration end-to-end — I deliver.
