Bio


I am a technology leader with a strong background in enterprise software, product platforms, and cloud architecture. Currently, I work as Manager Technology - Europe at Naviam (formerly ZNAPZ), where I am responsible for the technology direction, architecture, and alignment of products and engineering practices across the organization.

My work focuses on enterprise asset management solutions, with deep expertise in IBM Maximo and IBM MAS, cloud platforms, and scalable system design. I operate at the intersection of product strategy and technology execution: defining roadmaps, overseeing product development, aligning tooling and governance, and ensuring platforms are robust, secure, and fit for enterprise-scale use.

Alongside strategic responsibilities, I remain closely involved in complex technical challenges, supporting teams and customers with performance analysis, system stability, and critical issue resolution. I have extensive experience working with distributed teams, integrating organizations and platforms, and operating in regulated, enterprise environments.

I am particularly interested in platform modernization, product-driven engineering, and the practical application of automation and intelligence in enterprise software, always with a strong focus on reliability, maintainability, and business value.
