Fractional Innovation Lead

Let’s make innovation business as usual, together

Staying ahead requires not just innovation, but innovation that’s both strategic and systemic. That’s where I come in.

With a foundation in systems engineering, I bridge the gap between complex problems and sustainable solutions. My Systemic Approach incorporates principles of Design Thinking, Lean Startup, and Agile methodologies. I’ve applied this approach across diverse environments—from my family’s business to the expansive challenges of global corporates and the dynamic arenas of startups.
