Chief Technology Officer
I’m an enterprise technology leader with a strong SaaS background, seeking CTO opportunities in small, fast-growing companies. My career has evolved from large corporations to startups, and I thrive in environments where roles are fluid and success depends on identifying and solving the most critical problems. Recently, I drove a company’s evolution from startup to enterprise grade, introducing design governance, delivery structure and technical strategy, and led initiatives across sales, delivery and product functions. With that transformation complete, I’m ready for my next challenge: a hands-on leadership role where I can bring the same mix of technical depth, organisational structure and commercial focus to accelerate growth.
