Leadership Philosophy
At the heart of every organization are its people. I believe in fostering inclusive, high-performing teams where diverse perspectives thrive, and every voice is heard. I empower team members by giving them agency and creating safe environments where they can do their best work.
A guiding principle I hold close:
People may forget what you said or did, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel.
Mentorship is core to my approach. Inspired by Microsoft’s Ally to All initiative, I’ve actively mentored aspiring professionals, helping them grow into future leaders. I'm passionate about creating environments where inclusivity isn't just a value - it's a practice.
I'm excited to bring this philosophy to new challenges and teams.

Practical AI
AI has become a foundational pillar of my work, alongside cloud and cybersecurity. Bringing AI into a demo or dev space has thankfully never been easier - but embedding it into mission-critical workflows that businesses rely on? That's the real challenge and opportunity.
My work focuses on making AI practical, secure and affordable.
I've worked hands-on to infuse AI into real-world products and enterprise workflows - driving responsible AIOps practices and architecting multi-model and multi-agent AI solutions. I'm energised to work in impactful areas where AI truly adds value.

Career Journey
Now in my third decade in tech, I bring a range of experiences across infrastructure, software engineering, architecture, and hyperscale data center strategy. These diverse roles have shaped me into an adaptable leader committed to continuous learning as technology evolves.
From designing distributed systems and launching Availability Zones in Switzerland to building SaaS platforms and infusing AI into industries, I thrive at the intersection of vision and execution.
Technical Depth
Over the years, I've led teams across varied technology stacks and development practices, including DevSecOps, MLOps, and LLMOps environments. This hands-on technical foundation allows me to collaborate deeply with engineers, architects, and data scientists while driving strategic outcomes. Whether it's delivering secure cloud infrastructure, scaling AI systems, or evolving software development practices, I combine technical depth with a clear focus on impact.

The AI Shift
Generative AI is shifting how companies adopt technology. Just as cloud evolved from infrastructure to SaaS, AI adoption is moving up the stack. Models are now offered as a service and vendors keep taking more foundational responsibilities, freeing businesses to focus on outcomes rather than infrastructure.
Even model selection can be abstracted. AI can choose the right model for each task.
Three trends reshaping the AI landscape:
Multi-Agent & Multi-Model AI - The future isn't a single model or monolithic AI. Agents are like the microservices of AI, each specialising in a task, orchestrated together.
The most effective AI workloads combine multiple models - balancing cost, efficiency and accuracy to get the best result.
Multimodality - AI that can see, hear, and speak isn't new. What matters now is how these capabilities come together seamlessly.
AIOps & AI Agility - Deploying AI isn't the challenge - staying ahead is. The real differentiator is the ability to integrate new models and capabilities seamlessly as they are released, without major rework or disruption. Adapting in a competitive timeframe - without excessive prompt engineering or refactoring - requires upfront investment in how you experiment, build, and release. Done right, this doesn't just keep you competitive; it delivers a better product.
Invest early in your AIOps cycle - so you evolve with AI, rather than scrambling to catch up.
If you're thinking about how to make AI work for you - and keep working - let’s talk.
