Strategic Digital and Technology Leader with over 25 years of experience driving enterprise-wide digital transformation across manufacturing, aerospace and agriculture sectors. Proven record of leading large-scale modernization—from legacy to cloud, S/4HANA, AI and analytics-driven platforms—delivering measurable business outcomes. Proven ability to align technology roadmaps with business objectives, driving revenue growth, optimizing processes, and elevating customer experiences. Passionate about building high-impact Global Capability Centers, mentoring cross-functional teams, and fostering a culture of continuous innovation and operational excellence.I believe true digital transformation isn’t about technology alone — it’s about reimagining how an organization thinks, operates, and creates value.Over the past 25 years, I’ve led this journey across manufacturing, aerospace, and agriculture sectors, helping global enterprises bridge the gap between strategy and execution through digital innovation.At Syngenta, I’ve been privileged to lead a global digital transformation spanning cloud modernization, S/4HANA migration, AI-driven engagement platforms, and data intelligence ecosystems — all designed to make the business faster, smarter, and more human. I take pride in building and scaling Global Capability Centers that don’t just deliver technology, but enable capability, culture, and innovation at scale — empowering 200+ professionals to think product, act agile, and lead with impact.My leadership philosophy is simple: “Lead with integrity and empathy, connect deeply with purpose, and inspire people to turn transformation into a shared mission.”Today, I continue to explore how AI, data, and design-driven thinking can create more connected, sustainable, and adaptive enterprises — where digital becomes a catalyst for long-term value and human potential.
