Chief of Digital Manufacturing


I am a visionary leader who transforms complex organisations to be more competitive and sustainable through technology. I lead global technology teams to bring business strategies, operational requirements, and innovative technologies together to create real business value and transformation.

As Chief of Digital Manufacturing for one of the leading companies in the world, I collaborate with functional leaders (Operations, Engineering, Quality, IT etc.), leading technology vendors and other global organisations (Regulators, Research Institutes, Universities etc.) to transform the industry with digital technologies (Industry 4.0 | Smart Manufacturing). I am a recognised ambassador for digital transformation within the industry. I speak at events and give guest lectures to inspire today's and tomorrow's digital disruptors. I contribute to digital platforms like LinkedIn to stay connected to live debates and learn continuously.

Through engaging people and developing skills, simplifying processes, and choosing the right technology strategy, I am empowering everyone within the organisation to be a digital pioneer. To scale digital transformation, levelling the playing field and making technology accessible to everyone matters.

Creating a better world with sustainability and opportunities for everyone is important to me. I am a passionate supporter of charities supporting children. I participate in STEM activities to get more children involved in engineering.

I live by the famous Churchillian quote, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts".
