With a strong foundation in project and program management (e.g., PMBOK, Prince2, MSP, SAFe), you bring a disciplined yet innovative approach to driving change and delivering value.

You have a proven track record in the commercialisation of data, digital services, and products, with a deep understanding of go-to-market strategies across both B2B and B2C models.
