Description

Strategic Integration Lead with over 10 years of experience managing high-stakes transformations and multi-billion-dollar project portfolios. I specialize in Post-Merger Integration (PMI) for rapid-growth environments, helping organizations capture synergies, standardize operations, and protect margins during complex transitions.

I bridge the gap between "Deal Strategy" and "Operational Reality" by combining a rigorous engineering foundation with corporate finance expertise from the London School of Economics. My core value lies in "System-Led Integration"—using ERP (Dynamics 365) and automation to turn fragmented acquired assets into a single, scalable operating model.
