About me

I build and lead technology organizations that drive growth, resilience, and financial outcomes at scale.

I currently serve as Chief Technology and Product Officer at Enpal, Europe’s largest residential solar company, where I lead a 300-person engineering and product organization through market contraction and transformation. Previously, I was Global VP of Engineering at HelloFresh and Managing Director and CTO within the Amadeus Group, with full P&L responsibility.

I’ve operated across company stages and business models: early-stage startups to public enterprises, B2B and B2C, software and hardware, platform and product. My foundation is in distributed systems and cloud architecture, which I bring into executive leadership.

Outside of work, I speak at conferences, advise founders navigating growth and complexity, and occasionally write here about technology leadership.
