Project & Development Manager

Building ⭐ performance teams that deliver true digital transformation

🎯 You need results — not just reports.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led global digital programs, driven large-scale transformations, and built high-performance teams across pharma, tech, and consulting.

Here’s what that’s looked like in practice:

📈 Delivered >$100M in ROI across digital workplace, supply chain, and IT service portfolios

🌍 Led programs across 5 continents, serving users in 100+ countries

🛠 Orchestrated complex SAP/ERP rollouts, agile transformations, and M&A integrations

🤝 Built and scaled diverse, cross-functional teams that consistently outperformed benchmarks

🧩 Blended business insight with technology delivery to bridge strategy and execution, with empathy and clarity

But numbers only tell half the story.

As a certified coach, I’ve also helped leaders and professionals navigate uncertainty, find clarity, and unlock new levels of personal and professional growth. My coaching is grounded, practical, and forward-moving - no fluff, just real momentum.

📘 My book "A Life in Motion",  available at https://mybook.to/AV5w, brings together the exact frameworks I’ve used  - and lived - through two decades of change, connecting my leadership and coaching practices.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬?
Let’s talk. I’m open to tech leadership roles, advisory opportunities, or coaching collaborations.

“What can the rational mind do when we’re in emotional turmoil?”
 That’s what Niki asked during our Visualization podcast episode.

Ok, that was rhetorical 😁 - because we’ve all been there.

“I knew exactly how to react. 
I knew I had to stay calm… and then I exploded.”
I’ve heard that from more than one client.

Most of them expect to learn something: 
a new technique, a theory, a trick.

Good news: yes, we can learn.
Real progress comes from practice more than thought.

That’s where visualization helps.

Think of it as a “Back to the Future” experience:
you step into a moment ahead of time.

You feel what’s coming. 
You let your emotions surface. 
You digest them.

Then you do it again and again, 
until it feels a little less foreign - a little more you.

So when the real situation comes… 
No! You won’t be perfectly ready 🤔 
 
You’re not a machine.

But you’ll be better prepared 
- calmer, clearer, more intentional.

That works only if visualization goes beyond “seeing.”
If you see, see with the heart. ❤️

When I visualized my book launch
I could see the books spread over the table,
I could picture some friendly faces.
And I didn't stop there. 
 
I felt the intensity of the handshakes,
the goosebumps from being asked to say something,
that overwhelming  feeling of waiting the first person to come.

But before that? I had doubts. 
I hadn’t even booked the event.

When it finally happened - yes, my voice still trembled - 
but it was everything I had hoped for, and more.

Visualization isn’t wishful thinking or magic.

It’s about deeply connecting with yourself;
rearranging your inner Legos, 
co-creating your next chapter, 
and then bringing it to life through action.

It is rehearsing courage before reality demands it ❤️‍🔥
