Back to original languageAbout Ben
Leader of digital transformation with over 18 years of experience in steering product strategies, large-scale programs, and organizational transformations, in Energy, Automotive, Pharma, and Biotech, including in regulated environments (GxP).
Recognized for aligning strategy and execution, I have structured and evolved product and delivery organizations, led cross-functional teams, managed multi-project portfolios with high stakes, and delivered critical data platforms with measurable business impact.
I operate at the intersection of Product, Data, and Operations, bridging business, technology, and execution. I design and deploy operational models, governance, and delivery frameworks that improve performance, predictability, and quality at scale. The result: complex challenges transformed into scalable solutions and concrete results.
Today, as VP Operations Excellence & AI Transformation, I lead operational excellence and AI transformation for a growing biotech company: structuring processes and governance, deploying AI use cases from strategy to adoption, in compliance with regulatory requirements (GxP, GDPR, EHDS).
