About

I'm a strategic technology leader with a proven track record of building high-performing engineering organizations. As CTO at weunitebrands and former engineering lead at the Port of Rotterdam and Alphabet International (BMW), I've defined technology roadmaps, scaled engineering teams, and driven digital transformation across complex organizations.

With certifications in Scrum (CSM) and Product Ownership (CSPO), I bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution. I focus on creating cultures where engineering teams thrive -aligning technology investments with business outcomes, reducing organizational friction, and fostering innovation.

Whether defining architecture for a greenfield platform, restructuring engineering departments, or coaching leadership teams on agile principles -I bring clarity, energy, and a relentless focus on delivering measurable impact.
