Technology outsights

I am a technology leader with 15+ years in IT management positions in the Banking & Insurance industry, also a result-driven entrepeneur with deep knowlege of several technologies, having launched in the past my own IoT ecosystem start-up.

My leadership experience covers global application services, outsourcings, workforce transformation, and IT infrastructure and networks, leading international teams and managing multi million euro global services while creating trust interpersonal relationships, delivering savings, and improving IT operations.

My knowledge of technology ranges from IT architecture, full stack development, security, and cryptography, to IoT hardware electronics design and microcontroller programming, with several contributions to Open Source projects.

Both Master’s degrees in Telecoms Engineering and Market Research, together with my experience in global leadership positions for top tier organizations, provide me with an invaluable business oriented understanding of the operational and technical IT needs in a global highly regulated environment.
