With over a decade of experience in leading technology companies from start-up phases through growth and acquisition, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your organization’s continued success and innovation. In my current role as COO, I have spearheaded operational strategies that resulted in a 16% revenue increase through streamlined processes and customer focused product development. My hands-on approach to leadership has been instrumental in building and managing high-performing teams across customer service, sales, and development, thereby allowing the executive team to focus on business growth and strategic direction. One of my most significant achievements was negotiating and closing national tenders, growing our market share significantly and achieving a 70% revenue increase through strategic contracts. My technical expertise in C#, Java, Dart, Flutter, SQL, and MongoDB has allowed me to effectively communicate with development teams, ensure the integrity of technical implementations, and design scalable data architectures that support business growth. In a previous role, I managed a team of 140 people, overseeing a seamless integration post-acquisition and ensuring the successful delivery of systems to thousands of clients. My leadership style is outcome-focused, empowering small, highly skilled teams to deliver exceptional value quickly. I prioritize talent development and have successfully navigated transitions from on-site teams to remote global workforces, maintaining high levels of engagement and productivity. What sets me apart is my ability to blend strategic vision with technical acumen, ensuring that initiatives not only align with business goals but also leverage the latest technological advancements. I am passionate about driving innovation, improving operational efficiency, and creating sustainable growth.
