Technology, processes and AI
that make business work

CRM Product Manager & Business Architect · Compliance Officer · Enterprise AI Operations

My career started in software development and Product Management, moved through Business Process Management and CIO responsibility, and evolved into organizational consulting, CRM Product Management, technology governance and enterprise AI adoption.

In projects I work between business and technology: translating needs and constraints into processes, requirements, rules, exceptions, integrations, acceptance criteria and operating models. The goal is not merely a technically correct solution, but one that genuinely works in day-to-day business.
