I’m a technology executive with more than 20 years of experience creating and industrialising complex physical products.
I work best where a business has a promising idea and needs the technical judgement, organisation and roadmap to make it viable. My background spans advanced electronics, high-performance systems, robotics and connected products.
I bring performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost and schedule into balance, with safety and compliance setting the boundaries. I build teams around clear objectives, ownership and decision criteria, with technical guidance where complexity or risk requires it.
