About

Over 9 years in startups and Change Management, I’ve employed my versatile skillset in Edtech, Fintech and Mobile Games. I’ve led complex digital transformation, engineering, data and A.I. projects.

As a Change Management Consultant, I've led dozens of strategic projects across all business areas. From training programs, service design and regulatory change (GDPR, MIFID II) through to data-analytics, UX/UI and software engineering focused projects.

I’ve led game development at Arti Languages (Unity3D), a startup looking to reinvent language learning through meaningful games. I have a particular interest in gamification (and it’s shortcomings), user psychology, A.I. assisted software development and VR.

Before that as a Project Manager & User Support Lead, I led project management, testing and the user support desk for a Fintech Startup. I’m certified in Agile Project Management, and I’ve redesigned the project management systems of multiple teams.

I pride myself on my curiosity and cross-disciplinary skillset, thriving in the uncertain and challenging situations, that complex software projects and startups produce.
