Connecting people, business and systems, to execute and deliver your innovation portfolio, is what I bring to the table. I have seen the full spectrum of system & software development, from embedded in complex systems, web applications and image processing involving AI algorithms. Understanding that software is both an asset and a debt, I help businesses transform legacy code, improving quality, reducing cost and increasing output. Quality translates directly into speed.A conceptual and strategic thinker diving deep into content matters.

Having been responsible for heading R&D up to 150 FTE and familiar with execution on different levels, I build strong cross functional and cross site relationships. Proud to have brought the Philips Azurion Image Guide Therapy platform to the market. Halving the maintenance cost by reducing the code size (8M->4M lines of code) by taking the pen. I bring sustainable quality and craftmanship to your team, resulting in lower cost of non-quality and better returns on your innovation investment.
