With over 17 years of experience in IT infrastructure and operations, I specialize in leading high-performing teams and delivering scalable, secure, and resilient server solutions across the EMEA region. My career began at Dell in 2008, and since then, I've held pivotal roles at Atos, EOS, and Concentrix, where I've consistently driven operational excellence and innovation.​

In my current role as Associate Director – Global Server (EMEA) at Concentrix, I oversee server infrastructure strategy and operations across Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa. I lead a distributed team, ensuring alignment with global standards while addressing regional business needs. My responsibilities include managing budgets, ensuring compliance with regional regulations (e.g., GDPR, NIS2), and driving initiatives such as platform upgrades and hybrid infrastructure rollouts.​

My leadership is underpinned by a suite of certifications, including Six Sigma Black Belt, ITIL® V3 & V4, Professional Scrum Master I, and Lean Management. These credentials reflect my commitment to quality, agile methodologies, and continuous improvement.

I am passionate about fostering collaborative cultures, mentoring future leaders, and leveraging emerging technologies to drive business value.
