Interim and fractional IT leadership

Whether stepping into a complex programme under pressure, building delivery capability from the ground up or leading a planned transition, I restore control, strengthen commercial performance and turn transformation strategies into executable outcomes.

Across 26+ years with eBay, Thoughtworks and Globant, I have led multi-million-euro portfolios and international teams of 170+ people. My experience spans global enterprises, Mittelstand companies and high-growth organisations, working on both the client and consulting sides of technology delivery.

With more than 15 years of experience applying agile ways of working, I understand how to establish the iterative governance, feedback and experimentation cycles that successful AI adoption demands.

I combine senior delivery and operational leadership with AI management, governance and risk expertise. Backed by ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, applied AI management experience and extensive leadership in complex delivery environments, I translate governance and regulatory requirements into practical controls that support execution rather than slow it down.

This enables organisations to move from isolated AI experiments to governed, scalable adoption—while managing risk, maintaining accountability and delivering measurable business value.
