Summary

I'm an ambitious, dynamic leader with over 21 years of experience across the IT industry, spanning financial services and travel. I've led teams and functions across software development, infrastructure, and operations, which gives me a broad, systems-level understanding of how to scale reliable technology in complex organisations.
Most recently, Ive been leading the Cloud Enablement team at Booking.com, where I support over 20 product teams in adopting AWS securely and efficiently. Ive built a high-performing team culture, delivered reusable cloud tooling, introduced GenAI pilots, and embedded FinOps and SRE practicesall with a focus on engineering for scale, performance, and developer experience. My leadership has directly contributed to faster time-to-market, improved cost visibility, and stronger platform resilience.
What makes me a strong fit for this role is my ability to align technical delivery with business value. I enjoy bringing people together around a common goal, whether it's coaching engineers to take ownership of scalable systems, collaborating with architects and compliance teams, or driving cloud strategy alongside senior stakeholders. I bring a mix of strategic thinking, hands-on technical leadership, and a track record of delivering impact through enablement.

Expectations

In my next role, Im looking for the opportunity to lead high-impact engineering teams that are solving meaningful, complex problemsideally in a mission-driven environment where technology is being used as a force for good. I want to build on my experience driving cloud adoption, engineering enablement, and AI innovation at scale, while continuing to grow as a strategic leader. Im drawn to environments where cross-functional collaboration, product-minded thinking, and technical excellence are core to how teams operate. Most of all, Im looking to work with smart, motivated people on work that matterswith the autonomy and support to deliver lasting impact.
