WORK HISTORY
Field CTO Cloud, Emea (Director Cloud Computing Technology and Strategy) @Akamai Technologies
As Field CTO Cloud for EMEA at Akamai, I act as a strategic spokesperson for Akamai Cloud, working with enterprise customers, partners, analysts, and industry leaders to shape modern distributed cloud and AI architectures. I help organisations rethink how applications, data, and AI workloads are designed, deployed, and operated closer to users — improving performance, resilience, and cost efficiency.Alongside core cloud strategy, I lead conversations around applied AI and GPU-accelerated infrastructure across the region. This includes advising on inference economics, distributed AI at the edge, sovereign AI architectures, and practical adoption of open and portable platforms over hyperscaler lock-in. I collaborate closely with product teams, analysts, and customers to translate emerging AI capabilities into real-world business outcomes across industries such as Media, Retail, Travel, Financial Services, and Healthcare.As a recognised subject matter expert, I regularly speak at industry events, brief analysts and media, and provide technical and strategic guidance on emerging trends spanning cloud, edge, and AI. My focus is helping organisations move from centralised cloud models towards scalable, distributed platforms that enable modern application delivery, real-time data processing, and next-generation AI experiences.
