About

Engineer by training, commercial leader by choice, learner by habit

Twenty+ years in commercial and transformation roles at Procter & Gamble and Pfizer, in global and regional leadership positions across more than 40 markets. Home has been Istanbul, Warsaw, Cincinnati, New York and, for the last eight years, Berlin.

My path has zig-zagged between P&L and brand roles and digital and transformation roles. Today I focus on commercial excellence and AI in healthcare, and I write here about what I see working and what does not.
