From IT Professional to Digital Transformation Leader

My career began in traditional IT roles, but I quickly recognized that true digital transformation requires more than technical expertise—it demands a deep understanding of business strategy, user experience, AI integration, and organizational dynamics.

Each role I've held has been carefully chosen to build a comprehensive skill set that spans the entire digital ecosystem. This intentional journey has given me a unique perspective that few consultants possess: the ability to see projects from every angle and anticipate challenges before they arise.

Today, I leverage this 360-degree view to help organizations navigate complex digital transformations with confidence, ensuring that technical solutions align perfectly with business objectives and deliver measurable results through QA leadership and AI integration.
