Comfortable at the intersection of technology, strategy and P&L, he routinely aligns cross-functional teams to turn standards and R&D into scalable revenue streams. An executive-trained innovator (SDA Bocconi, MIT Sloan AI coursework, INSEAD leadership), he blends rigorous academic grounding with pragmatic product and M&A experience in global markets.
