I have managed multiple international teams, delivering complex projects across diverse regions, including the US, UK, Europe, Middle East, and Canada, ensuring timely and on-budget execution strategies.

I successfully led revenue growth and operational management as Head of Country for a major IT organization in Scotland, significantly enhancing market presence and financial performance. My due diligence expertise includes assessing team capabilities, technology viability, and market fit, providing critical insights for all investment committee decisions.

I have advised VC firms and strategic committees on AI, robotics, and autonomous systems, guiding significant investment decisions and fostering the development of emerging technologies. My product management excellence is evident in leading the end-to-end product management lifecycle for frontier technologies from initial scientific research to commercial product development.
