I build and govern PMOs, run national-scale regulated delivery, and bring AI into the SDLC — with governance, not hype.

Profile

Delivery leadership that scales — across borders and regulators.

PMP-certified project and program leader with 18+ years delivering enterprise software and platform-modernization programs across sports betting, central lottery, telecom, insurance and heavy industry.

I have built PMOs from the ground up, governed Agile, Waterfall and Hybrid delivery, and led multi-million-euro programs as an expatriate across Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ethiopia, India and Ivory Coast. Today I pair PMI-grade governance and capacity planning with hands-on SDLC, business analysis and governed, AI-enabled delivery in regulated environments.
