WORK HISTORY
Vice President Business Development & Innovation @DocuWare
I focus on building new business by combining product thinking, technology, and market validation. As a founder of an AI startup, I bring a hands-on understanding of how to work with emerging technologies, move quickly under uncertainty, and turn ideas into real products that customers actually use.My approach to innovation is grounded in execution. Most ideas look good on paper but fail in the market, so the goal is to test early, learn fast, and focus only on what shows real traction. I set up small, focused teams that take opportunities from concept to first customers, using lean, product-driven methods and a strong bias toward building things that can scale.Technology plays a central role in how I approach new business. I work closely at the intersection of product, engineering, and market needs to ensure that innovation is not just conceptual, but technically sound and future-proof. Whether through internal development or collaboration with startups and partners, I aim to leverage new technologies in a way that creates real competitive advantage.I operate between strategy and execution. I contribute to defining where to go next, but I stay close enough to the work to ensure that ideas don’t remain abstract. For me, innovation is about creating tangible outcomes that work in the real world and can be integrated and scaled within an organization.
