CEO & Growth Strategist with a practical, hands-on mentality. Proven expertise in new product & B2B services development, data processing, supply chain, scaling commercial growth, M&A, digital infrastructure & transformation, and turnarounds. Described as a "Management Decathlete", my true professional motivation lies in discovering new areas for commercial growth. I take a practical "player-coach" approach, effectively leading and participating in teams to achieve optimal results, even during challenging situations such as restructuring, turnarounds, and company sales. I have predominantly worked in medium-sized enterprises with 500 to 25,000 employees, specialising in highly technical, data-heavy, B2B environments with a strong SaaS element. With 20 years of industry experience across 4 continents, I identified a gap between senior leadership and emerging technologies, prompting me in 2021 to pursue a Master's degree in data science to enhance my skill set. Equipped with a deep understanding of P&L challenges and mastery of cutting-edge technologies, I offer a unique perspective within B2B services, fostering innovation and driving meaningful change. My diverse background in engineering, International MBA (Finance), and a Master's in Technology enables me to deliver results across continents, from Product Engineer to CEO roles in various organizations, including privately held and public enterprises, as well as private equity. I have also provided advisory services to boards. Areas of expertise: P&L Management, CEO, Managing Director Industrial Automation/Robotics, Data Center, Supply Chain & Last Mile Logistics, Customs & Warehousing, Energy Grids Machine Learning and Vision Systems Digital Transformation, Product Development & Marketing SaaS for Complex Datasets, Recurring & Service Revenues Turnaround, Restructuring & Transformation Data Security in Regulated Verticals Sales Management & Commercial Scale-up Private Equity M&A / Integrations Fundraising Multi-Cultural Perspectives Matrix Leadership
