My career has been built around helping organizations turn complex technology initiatives into practical, scalable ways of working. I've spent the last several years leading programs across cybersecurity, cloud adoption, customer success, and business operations. Whether supporting large customer transitions, improving service delivery, or driving organizational change, my focus has always been on bringing structure, transparency, and accountability to execution. I particularly enjoy connecting strategy with day-to-day operations. That means building governance models, managing risks and dependencies, aligning stakeholders, and helping teams navigate change while keeping customers and business outcomes at the center. Colleagues often describe me as pragmatic, collaborative, and focused on getting things done. I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, people, and operations, where meaningful transformation happens. PMP | ITIL | Prosci | PRINCE2 Certified Fluent in English, French, and Romanian
