As a Chief Data Officer (CDO), CDIO, and specialized transition manager in Information Technology Cloud, I possess extensive experience in leadership and implementing change management strategies for cloud technologies and the data domain.

• Cloud Technologies and Change Management
• Technical Team Management
• Technology and Solution Evaluation
• Software Vendor Partnership Management
• Talent Recruitment and Management

My background has involved working with software vendors, solution providers, and consulting firms on the client side, as well as running my own businesses abroad. I am currently focused on innovative technologies such as:
• GCP and AWS Cloud Technologies, Methodologies, and Change Management
• Master Data Management (MDM)
• Big Data (Snowflake, Redshift, Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark, etc.)
• Artificial Intelligence (AI/ML)
• Business Intelligence (BI)

I also have experience with enterprise-scale technologies such as ERPs.

Passionate about technology, I continuously stay updated on the latest hardware and software advancements. I have successfully led teams and projects in multiple languages and countries, considering various constraints, including:
• Commercial and Financial aspects
• Strategic aspects
• Technical aspects
• Human aspects

If you are looking for an experienced CDO Transition Manager and a Cloud Technology Specialist to help your organization navigate complex transitions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
