With over 10 years of experience in Senior positions, I possess in-depth skills in various aspects of Leadership and Management collected during my 25 years working with skilled people in regards to consulting and software development. I have a proven ability to effectively drive change through strategic management, tactical thinking and operational knowledge. I have successfully implemented new digital technology both internally and customer-centric which has led to improved efficiency, a better user journey and overall improvement in customer satisfaction. My strong understanding of stakeholders, paired with my ability to translate needs into actionable strategies, has been key to archiving results driven by deep technological foundation.
I have a keen understanding of strategic management and planning, and proven results in driving change on the Enterprise level. I am results-oriented and strive for excellence not only in my personal performance, but also in the teams I lead. I strongly believe in motivating employees through recognition, encouragement, and support, as I have seen how this can drive both personal growth and improved team performance. I am a skilled communicator with a high degree of emotional intelligence, which I have used to actively work on adapting organizational culture.
Motivation for changes is something I find naturally as I myself thrive on and with change. I also see myself as a person with a strong developed empathic sense in which I employ to ensure a collaborative work environment but at the same time I am capable of making decisions when this is required and I have a proven track record for driving change ensuring the dissolution of silos and enabling an Agile organization.
