Profile
Business & Technology
Dual majors in economics and computer science, backed by 30+ years of global experience. I work as data architect, data engineer, and business analyst at once, and as a team leader and coach, acting as the bridge between business and technology.
Data Management
A certified data management professional with an outstanding record designing and implementing data products well aligned with business strategy. I establish data management and governance processes that keep data AI-ready and optimally used to support business growth, grounded in top frameworks and global best practices.
Program Management
I have contributed to successful business transformations around the world through business acumen, design thinking, deep technical expertise, agile delivery, and a customer-first orientation. I guide the maturity assessment across the dimensions of success (organization, process, systems, and data), define the right roadmap, and put it into action.
Ahead of the curve, since 2017
Back in 2017 I established the Aiconomica brand based on my early perception that AI had brought us to a turning point, and that the decade would belong to data-driven, AI-infused business models. I built my practice on a simple conviction: trustworthy, governed data is what turns that promise into real economic value. Years on, that is exactly the bridge I help organisations cross.
