Who am I?

A passionate and energetic technology & strategy advisor and coach. An innovation facilitator experienced establishing innovation driven processes and culture. A technologist experienced on defining a sound R&D strategy. Highly experienced on the application of technology to solve problems in different verticals (e.g. eHealth, Industry, Telecommunications, AgTech, InsurTech, FinTech, Avionics, Space, Defence).
 

My approach? 

Business driven by Knowledge, Knowledge driven by Market. Business, Knowledge & Market driven by personas. Many times in tech-intensive businesses we forget that technology is just a tool, not a goal. It is important to put the focus on personas and their problems. This requires an agile, innovation-ready culture that inspire people to give the best of themselves. Establishing the right methodology and processes can help creating such culture, keep everyone focused on the key strategic goals while boosting productivity (e.g. OKR, Lean management, Innovation-driven culture, Kanban, Agile development).
